calling scriptinclude from link in catalog

[t-takumi]

I want to place a link in a catalog item (created via Record Producer) that calls a Script Include. Is it possible to generate a link using a Script Include? Also, is there a way to call a script that performs server-side processing without calling a Script Include?

Hi @t-takumi 

Try this:

1. Create a variable

• Open your Record Producer.
• Create a new Variable.
• Set the Type to Rich Text Label or Custom (using a UI Macro/Widget).
• Give it a name (e.g., dynamic_link_placeholder)

1. Create the Client-Callable Script Include

• Navigate to System Definition > Script Includes >Click New.
• Client callable : checked

var DynamicLinkGenerator = Class.create();

DynamicLinkGenerator.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

    generateCatalogLink: function() {

        var recordSysId = this.getParameter('sysparm_record_id');

         var baseUrl = "/sp?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id="; // Example portal route

        var finalUrl = baseUrl + recordSysId;

        return '<a href="' + finalUrl + '" target="_blank" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">Click Here to View Details</a>';

    },

    type: 'DynamicLinkGenerator'

});

1. Create the Catalog Client Script

• On your Record Producer, go to the Catalog Client Scripts related list.> Click New.
• Set the Type to onLoad (or onChange depending on your requirements).
• Set the UI Type to All

function onLoad() {

    var ga = new GlideAjax('DynamicLinkGenerator');

    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'generateCatalogLink');

    ga.addParam('sysparm_record_id', g_form.getUniqueValue());

    ga.getXMLAnswer(function(response) {

        if (response) {

              g_form.setValue('dynamic_link_placeholder', response);

        }

    });

}

@t-takumi 

you can show link in catalog form using different variable types (Custom or HTML)

But what should happen on click of that?

what's your exact business requirement?

[t-takumi]

I want to run a query on a table with a server script when a link is clicked.
After that, I want to export the file.
