Adding an if condition to a UI action

I've got a UI Action under the 'Related Links' called 'Generate/Continue BIA'. What I'm wanting to do is apply some logic so that it checks if the entries in the 'Divisional Application Owner' or 'Technical Application Owner' are active. If either one of the users are inactive and a user clicks on the 'Generate/Continue BIA' link, it should generate an error message 'The BIA cannot be generated/continued until both role holders are active' and keep them on the same page.

I was just wondering how I would get this applied to the UI action?

Hi,

update as this

function invokeAssessment() {

	if(g_form.getReference('u_business_owner').active.toString() == 'true' && g_form.getReference('u_custodian').active.toString() == 'true'){
		checkCurrentBia();
	}
	else{
		g_form.addErrorMessage('The BIA cannot be generated/continued until both role holders are active');
	}	
}

function checkCurrentBia(){

	var businessApp = g_form.getUniqueValue();
	//Access the glide ajax script include with the current sys id as a parameter
	var gaAssessment = new GlideAjax('LBGBiaUtils');
	gaAssessment.addParam('sysparm_name', 'currentAssessmentAjax');
	gaAssessment.addParam('sysparm_bus_app',businessApp);
	gaAssessment.getXML(generateAssessment);

	function generateAssessment(response) {
		var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
		var data = answer.evalJSON(true);

		if (data.wipBia == 'false') {
			//generate pop up of UI page lbg_bia_dialog
			var displayValue = g_form.getDisplayValue();
			var biaDecisionPage = "lbg_bia_dialog";
			var dialogWindow = new GlideModal(biaDecisionPage, false, "modal-md");
			dialogWindow.setTitle(getMessage("Type of BIA"));
			dialogWindow.setPreference("displayValue", displayValue);
			//sysparm_id is the sys id of the current business app
			dialogWindow.setPreference("sysparm_id", g_form.getUniqueValue());
			dialogWindow.render();
			window.g_parentDialog = dialogWindow;
		} else {
			gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'action_bia');
		}
	}
}

if (typeof window == 'undefined')
	openCurrentBia();

function openCurrentBia() {
	var util = new LBGBiaUtils();
	var data = util.currentAssessment(current.getValue('sys_id'));
	var urlArray = [];
	urlArray.push(data.environmentUrl);
	urlArray.push(data.biaInstance);
	urlArray.push(data.biaMetricType);
	var instanceUrl = gs.getMessage('lbg.assessment.redirect.url' , urlArray);
	action.setRedirectURL(instanceUrl);
}

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar I did try this with some other users, but they're not seeing the error message. The error message seems to appear for certain users. I was just wondering if you knew what could be causing it to not show for other users.

for the script to work both the fields should be present on the view the users are seeing.

Also debug if the user has read access to the table being referred by both the fields

The fields are both visible for the users, but i'm not sure about read access.

 

Is there a way to workaround it? Could it be ran as a business rule?
