# Byte #8: Magical Left Hand Nav Shortcuts

## Left Hand Nav Shortcuts

### .list

Type in a table name followed by “.list” to be taken directly to a list view of that table. Examples: “incident.list” or “sys_user_group_type.list”

### .form

Type in a table name followed by “.form” to be taken to creating a new record on that table. Examples: “incident.form” or “change_request.form”

### .config

Type in a table name followed by “.config” to be taken to the page that shows the tabs of all the different configurations for that form - Client Scripts, Business Rules, etc.

### .LIST and .FORM and .CONFIG

Using ALL CAPS when typing in the shortcut will cause the resulting list or form to open in a new tab. Very useful for when you need to maintain the current page you’re on!

## Adding Your Own Shortcuts

### NavFilterExtension

There is a “UI Script” called NavFilterExtension that allows you to create your own left hand navigation shortcuts. It has some examples in it already to get you started.

### Chad’s Version

An old colleague of mine created a robust version to help with everything from searching to refreshing to pulling up a list of records assigned to you. Check it out and download his code on [his blog post](http://fruitionpartners.com/enhancing-the-servicenow-nav-filter-by-chad-whaley/).
