Reference

A reference variable references a record in another table. For example, a variable named point_of_contact references the User [sys_user] table.

For attributes supported by this variable, see variable attributes.

Keep the following information in mind when you create a reference variable:

• Reference variables use the auto-complete feature . To ensure that users have enough information to make the selection, configure the reference lookup list .
• Reference variables store the sys_id of the selected record (like reference fields). To use the display value in a script, use the same methods as for a reference field.
