can Ui action be used to call a ui page?

surya123 · ‎01-20-2016

Hi All,

I have a UI Page(xyz) which invokes a UI Macro to show few buttons on header and carry out buttons functionality.

I have a UI Action created to incident page which shows as a link on the form.

When i click on the link (created by ui action) in the incident page , then i want it to perform what the UI page (xyz) does .[ That is loads a page with header and buttons].

Is it possible that when I click on the UI Action link, it performs what is being carried out by UI Page.

Please let me know if there is any other approach in which this can be achieved or if this is possible then share the script for same.

Thanks in advance

Surya

For example.. I have a ui page named testdriftinformation

here is the code below to get the ui action to load that page in the main window.

sendToNorChange();

function sendToNorChange()

{

//make the url to a new normal change

var url = 'testdriftinformation.do';

//Redirecting the user to the new url

action.setRedirectURL(url);

}

Using the setPreference('table.... doesn't open your ui page.. then it show you the list of records..

If you want to open a ui page. This is an example from wikin

function commentsDialog() {

//Get the values to pass into the dialog

var comments_text = g_form.getValue("comments");

var short_text = g_form.getValue("short_description");

//Initialize and open the dialog

var dialog = new GlideDialogWindow("add_comments_dialog"); //Instantiate the dialog containing the UI Page 'add_comments_dialog'

dialog.setTitle("Add Task Comments"); //Set the dialog title

dialog.setPreference("comments_text", comments_text); //Pass the comments into the dialog

dialog.setPreference("short_text", short_text); //Pass in a short description for use in the dialog

dialog.render(); //Open the dialog

}
