Adding a button to the Portal - to set the value of a 'true/false' field in an HR Case

[Carl Fransen1]

Hi Team,

I have a custom 'true/false' field called 'u_re_approval' which works with my workflow to send the HR Case for another round of approvals if rejected.  All this works great, except I need the employee to also be able to update the field via the HR Portal interface.

The Page I updated is 'hrj_ticket_page' pointing to the widget 'hrj-case-info' and the button shows up all fine, but I can't get the code working correctly to set the value of this field to 'true'.  I think it's the client and server code that isn't working and now sure why, any help is appreciated.

Widget HTML:

<button name="reapproval" class="btn btn-primary" style="margin-bottom: 20px" ng-click="reapprove();">Send for Re-Approval</button>

The above seems to work as the button is showing and when I press it the client statement console.log shows the current value.

Server Code:

// CJF 23-07-18 New server function for 'Send for Re-Approval' button for HR Training
	function(){	
	// Send for Re-Approval
		if (input && input.action){
			var action = input.action;
			if (action == 'reapprove'){
				grCase.setValue('u_re_approve2', true);
				grCase.update();
			}
		}
	}
	//CJF 23-07-18 - End of new function

Client Code:

// CJF 23-07-18
	$scope.reapprove = function() {
		console.log($scope.data.reApproval);
		//$scope.data.reApproval = true;
	//data.reApproval = grCase.getDisplayValue('u_re_approval');
	$scope.server.update();
					c.server.update().then(function(){
				//$scope.update();
		})
		}

Hopefully it's only something simple...

Cheers

Carl.

Can you share you server and client code?

[Carl Fransen1]

Sorry forgot to add my code.

My HTML Code is:

<div class="panel panel-default">
 <div class="panel-heading">Case Action</div>
 <div class="panel-body">
 <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-block" ng-click="c.uiAction('reapprove')">Re-Approve</button>
<!-- <button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-block" ng-click="c.uiAction('cancel')">Cancel</button> -->
 </div>
</div>

The Server Code is:

(function() {
 
	gr = new GlideRecord('sn_hr_core_case');

	if (input && input.action) {
		var action = input.action;
 
	if (action == 'reapprove') {
				// Re-approve HR Case
				gr.setValue('u_re_approve2', true);
				gr.update();
			}
			//if (action == 'cancel') {
			//	// Do something else
		//	}
		}
})();

The Client code is:

function() {
  var c = this;
	c.uiAction = function(action) {
		c.data.action = action;
		console.log(action);
		c.server.update().then(function() {
			c.data.action = undefined;
		})
	}
}

Try updating you script with below and check.

(function() {
 
	gr = new GlideRecord('sn_hr_core_case');
        gr.get(,$sp.getParameter('sys_id'));

	if (input && input.action) {
		var action = input.action;
 
	if (action == 'reapprove') {
				// Re-approve HR Case
				gr.setValue('u_re_approve2', true);
				gr.update();
			}
			//if (action == 'cancel') {
			//	// Do something else
		//	}
		}
})();

Hi Sanjiv,

Adding the additional line:  gr.get($sp.getParameter('sys_id'));

(Although I did need to remove the comma you had entered before the $sp).

Thanks for your help - much appreciated!

Cheers Carl.
