Enable Clickable Record Links in Exports.

Problem

Many organizations rely heavily on Query to identify groups of records that require review, cleanup, or updates. However, Query currently limits the number of results that can be viewed directly within the system.

Because of this limitation, users are forced to export query results to review the full dataset. Once exported, the workflow becomes highly inefficient:

• Users cannot open constituent records directly from the query exported results

• Each record must be manually searched again in RENXT - because even the search function in the query can't populate these records.

• This process must be repeated record by record

This creates a significant disconnect between data identification (Query) and data maintenance (record updates).

Business Impact

This limitation results in:

• Major productivity loss for database teams

• Increased risk of data entry errors when re-searching records manually

• Slower data cleanup cycles

• Reduced adoption of Query for operational workflows

For the many organizations that use Query as a primary tool for data maintenance, this represents a substantial regression in usability and efficiency.

Solution

Add Record Links to Exports

Enhance exported query results by including:

• Clickable links (URLs) that open the corresponding record in RENXT

• Similar functionality already exists in Lists, demonstrating this is feasible

This would allow users to:

• Work from exported data while maintaining seamless access to records

• Avoid repetitive manual searching
  
  

Bringing Query capabilities in line with Lists, by enabling record linking, would:

• Eliminate unnecessary steps

• Restore efficient bulk data workflows

• Improve overall user satisfaction and productivity
  
  

The current Query limitations create unnecessary friction and significantly slow down routine database maintenance. Enabling direct record links in query exports would dramatically improve efficiency and align Query with real-world usage needs.
