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 )){...

Code a pause/wait - gs.sleep or gs.wait alternative, pause script for specified seconds (timer)

Code a pause/wait - gs.sleep / gs.wait alternative, pause script for specified seconds (timer)  e.g. 10 seconds: do_sleep ( 10000 ); function do_sleep ( milliseconds ) { var start = new Date (). getTime (); for ( var i = 0 ; i < 1e7 ; i ++) { if (( new Date (). getTime () - start ) > milliseconds ){ gs . print ( 'waking up!' ); break ; } } }
