Business Service (cmdb_ci_service) records are not visible in the instance

KB Summary by Now Assist

Issue

Business Service (cmdb_ci_service) records are not visible in the instance

To reproduce: Try sorting the cmdb_ci_service table on "Updates" by right-clicking the mouse over the column header and selecting sort (a-z)

Release

New York (Occurs on UI16 form layout)

Cause

It could appear that there is a UI policy which hides the display of records when you right-click on column header "Updates" (in my case) and select sort (a-z)

This appears to be a cosmetic issue if the following all checks out:

  • check the security by applying debug and examining the rules
  • changing the view does not resolve the issue
  • logging in as any user and you are able to reproduce the issue

In this case the "updates" column was hiding the records which is likely due to UI policies

Resolution

To resolve: Sort (a-z) cmdb_ci_service on any other column

For further assistance on UI policies log a support call with ServiceNow support
