# UI Actions With Hard-Coded sys_ids

Impact Area

Manageability

           Severity

Medium

           Affected Element

UI Action

## Rule ID

**SN-0053**

## Impact

Hard coding sys_ids makes the system more difficult to manage, and less able to move functionality between instances.

## Remediation

Create a system property to store the name of the record (not the sys_id) for easier manageability. The script can use `gs.getProperty()` to retrieve the record and use the sys_id. If the named record was not found, an error can be displayed appropriately.
