Context Menu

The context menu (right-click menu) is an often overlooked but handy feature. It provides quick access to functions and searches based on your current context.

The menu items are context-aware - if you haven't selected text, items like Search and Code snippets won't appear.

Menu Sections

Search / GoTo

When you have text selected, you'll see options like:

• Instance Search - Search the current instance
• Code Search - Search code across the instance
• Go to Table - Navigate directly to a table list

Tools

Popular functions including:

• Toggle Technical Names - Show/hide field and table names
• Cancel Transactions - Stop running transactions
• Other utility commands

Code / Work Note Snippets

When you're in a text field or code editor, you'll see starter snippets for:

• Code snippets - Common script patterns
• Work note snippets - Templates for work notes

Note: These may not be accessible when a ServiceNow context menu is active.
