Cannot find function getPreferences in object com.glide.script.fencing.ScopedRenderJavascript

[mikeb]

I'm trying to add a UI page to a Widget to use on a Dashboard in a Scoped App - here's the script, straight out of the docs:

function sections() {
 return {
  'Activity Report': { 'uiPageName' : 'x_asdf_network_ma.progress_report'},
  'Quarterly Report': {'uiPageName': 'x_asdf_network_ma.quarterly_report'}
 };
}

function render() {
  var uiPageName = renderer.getPreferences().get("uiPageName");
  return renderer.getRenderedPage(uiPageName);
}

function getEditLink() {
  var uiPageName = renderer.getPreference('uiPageName');
  return 'sys_ui_page.do?sysparm_query=' + encodeURIComponent('name=' + uiPageName);
}

The page renders with `null` and I get the error in the console: Cannot find function getPreferences in object com.glide.script.fencing.ScopedRenderJavascript

Clearly, the ScopedRenderJavascript object is not the same as the Global one.

How can I do this in a scoped app? The UI page is great, but my users need to be able to add it to a dashboard.

In scope you'll need to change: 

var uiPageName = renderer.getPreferences().get("uiPageName");

to:

var uiPageName = renderer.getPreference('uiPageName');
