Display Business Rule and Client Script - hide empty variables on cat item form and make visible vars read only

Display Business Rule and Client Script - hide empty variables on cat item form and make visible vars read only (g_scratchpad)

 

BUSINESS RULE (Display) - generates the scratchpads which are passed to the client script

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) { //Get Catalog variables var emptyVariables = []; var readonlyVariables = []; var keys = []; var set = new GlideappVariablePoolQuestionSet(); set.setRequestID(current.request_item); //--if table is sc_task
//set.setRequestID(current.sys_id); //--if table is RITM set.load(); var vs = set.getFlatQuestions(); var description = ''; for (var i = 0; i < vs.size(); i++) { var sDisplVal = vs.get(i).getDisplayValue().toString(); //var sLabel = vs.get(i).getLabel().toString(); var sField = vs.get(i).getName().toString(); //gs.addInfoMessage(!gs.nil(sLabel) + ',' + (sDisplVal!='') + ',' + sLabel + ': ' + sDisplVal); if (!gs.nil(sField) && (sDisplVal == '' || sDisplVal == 'false')) { emptyVariables.push(sField); } else { readonlyVariables.push(sField); } } g_scratchpad.emptyVariables = emptyVariables.toString(); g_scratchpad.readonlyVariables = readonlyVariables.toString(); //gs.addInfoMessage(g_scratchpad.emptyVariables); })(current, previous);



  

CLIENT SCRIPT: this can be a client script (not catalog client script) on sc_task or RITM //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
if (g_scratchpad.emptyVariables != '') { //alert(g_scratchpad.emptyVariables); var emptyVars = g_scratchpad.emptyVariables.split(','); for (i = 0; i < emptyVars.length; i++) { //alert(emptyVars[i].toString()); g_form.setDisplay('variables.' + emptyVars[i], false); } } if (g_scratchpad.readonlyVariables != '') { //alert(g_scratchpad.readonlyVariables); var allVarsRO = g_scratchpad.readonlyVariables.split(','); for (x = 0; x < allVarsRO.length; x++) { //alert(allVarsRO[x].toString()); g_form.setReadOnly('variables.' + allVarsRO[x], true); } }

ServiceNow check for null or nil or empty (or not)

Haven't tested these all recently within global/local scopes, so feel free to have a play! option 1 use an encoded query embedded in the GlideRecord , e.g.  var grProf = new GlideRecord ( 'x_cls_clear_skye_i_profile' ); grProf . addQuery ( 'status=1^ owner=NULL ' ); grProf . query (); even better use the glideRecord  addNotNullQuery or addNullQuery option 2 JSUtil.nil / notNil (this might be the most powerful. See this link ) example: if ( current . operation () == 'insert' && JSUtil . notNil ( current . parent ) && ! current . work_effort . nil ())  option 3 there might be times when you need to get inside the GlideRecord and perform the check there, for example if the code goes down 2 optional routes depending on null / not null can use gs.nil : var grAppr = new GlideRecord ( 'sysapproval_approver' ); var grUser = new GlideRecord ( 'sys_user' ); if ( grUser . get ( 'sys_id' , current . approver )){

Service Catalog: variable advanced reference qualifiers

Call a script include to apply a reference qualifier on a catalog item variable: - variable reference qualifier dependent on another variable selection, in this case a variable referencing sys_user (requested_for) On the catalog item form. variable name to apply ref qual filter : retail_equipment variable reference qualifier (on cmdb table ): javascript : new  refqual_functions (). lostStolen_getAssignedCIs (); client-callable script include ( refqual_functions)  function : lostStolen_getAssignedCIs : function (){         //--called from variable set client script, for lost/stolen request (service catalog)     gs . log ( current . variables . requested_for , 'retail_lostStolen_getAssignedCIs' );         return ( 'install_statusNOT IN8,7^owned_by=' + current . variables . requested_for );             //owned_by=1269b79937f1060041c5616043990e41^install_statusNOT IN8,7            },
