Export record as a word document

Vidya Shree · ‎10-15-2022

Hi All,

We have a requirement to have an option to export a record as a word document.

I looked through various posts in the community but could not find anything.

Has anybody worked on similar requirement? or any idea on how this can be achieved?

Thanks in advance

Hi All,

I was able to achieve this with the below code.

I have used UI action on click of which word document will be created and attached the record

var variables = current.variables.getElements();
var variablesBody = '';
for (var j = 0; j < variables.length; j++) {
var question = variables[j].getQuestion();

variablesBody = variablesBody + '<tr><td style="background-color:#3388FF;color:white;">' + question.getLabel() + ':</td><td>' + question.getDisplayValue() + '</td></tr>';
}
var fieldProperty = gs.getProperty('changerequest.mop.fields');
var fields = fieldProperty.split(',');
var body = '';
for (var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
var field = fields[i];

body = body + '<tr><td style="background-color:#3388FF;color:white;">' + current[field].getLabel() + ':</td><td>' + current[field].getDisplayValue() + '</td></tr>';
}
var html = '<html><table border = "1">' + body + variablesBody + '</table></html>';
var attachmentName = current.number.toString() + ".doc";
var gsa = new GlideSysAttachment();
var attachmentId = gsa.write(current, attachmentName, 'text/plain', html);
action.setRedirectURL(current);

This code does not convert the HTML content properly into a word file like it gets done for pdf file.
