CIS-ITSM practice question 8 of 25
On an incident record, where are the fields fiat appear on the caller lookup select box defined?
Full set: 172 questionsThe additional columns that appear in the auto-complete dropdown (lookup select box) for a reference field are defined by the refaccolumns dictionary attribute. This attribute is configured on the dictionary entry of the specific reference field, in this case, the callerid field on the Incident table. By specifying a comma-separated list of field names from the referenced table (e.g., sysuser), an administrator can display more contextual information, such as an email address or employee number, alongside the user's name. This enhances usability by helping users select the correct record without opening the full lookup list.
A. The refcontributions attribute is used to add UI macros, such as clickable icons, next to a reference field, not to modify the lookup columns.
C. The configuration is applied to the dictionary entry of the reference field on the consuming table (Incident), not on the referenced table (sysuser).
D. Form design or form layout is used to configure the fields and their arrangement on a standard form view, not the columns in an auto-complete dropdown.
1. ServiceNow Product Documentation - Dictionary attributes: The official documentation lists refaccolumns and describes its function: "Specifies additional columns to be displayed in the auto-complete list for this reference field." This directly supports the correct answer. (ServiceNow Product Documentation, Platform Administration > Data dictionary > Dictionary attributes).
2. ServiceNow Developer Site - Dictionary Attributes: The developer portal provides a technical reference for dictionary attributes, confirming that refaccolumns is used to "Add columns to the auto-complete list for a reference field." (ServiceNow Developer Documentation, API Reference > Dictionary Attributes).
