Hi,

To auto populate the Applicant's Name field with logged in user - While defining the variable, set the default value as javascript:gs.getUserID(); ------- This will give you the current logged in user.

To auto populate the location field of the current user with onload action.

write an onLoad script:

var id = g_form.getValue('applicant_name'); //variable name
var user = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
user.addQuery('sys_id',id);
user.query();
if ( user.next() ) {
g_form.setValue('location', user.location);

g_form.getValue('requestor_manager', user.manager);
g_form.setValue('phone', user.mobile_phone); //to set the phone number.
g_form.setValue('emp_number', user.employee_number); // to set the employee number.

}

Hope this will be helpful?

Thanks,

Shashikant

Running a GlideRecord query on client scripts isn't advisable, use a ScriptInclude instead.

To auto populate logged on Users Location, you can use the following Default Value in the Variable:

javascript:gs.getUser().getRecord().getValue("location");
