Conditional display of UI macro

[robertmaxwell]

I have a UI macro that i need to display conditionally without using DOM manipulation on a form. I have applied an id within the macro but am unable to call it within a script to display only when required. It currently displays atall times.

Need a little more info.   Where is this UI Macro being used?   On a reference field, on a form or someplace else?

Can you post the UI Macro?

Its being used on a form

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

  <table id="element.u_request_task.priority_note_rtask" border="0" background-color="yellow" padding="5px" width="100%">

  <tr padding="10px">

  <td width="100px"></td>

  <td width="250px">

  <font size="-5">

  <b><font color="red">1 - Immediate</font></b> - above ADFSOC duties, other than operational circuits and Problems

  </font>

  </td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

  <td></td>

  <td>

  <font size="-5">

  <b><font color="red">2 - Important</font></b> - after ADFSOC duties, complete in less than or equal to 15 working days

  </font>

  </td>

  </tr>

<tr>

  <td></td>

  <td>

  <font size="-5">

  <b><font color="red">3 - Routine</font></b> - after ADFSOC duties, complete within less than or equal to 30 working days

  </font>

  </td>

  </tr>

  </table>

</j:jelly>

I would just wrap the whole thing in an IF tag and I myself would tend towards using a role to show the message or membership of a group.   I think role would be easier.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<j:if test="$[gs.hasRole('SOMEROLETOCHECKFOR')]">

  <table id="element.u_request_task.priority_note_rtask" border="0" background-color="yellow" padding="5px" width="100%">

  </table>

</j:if>

</j:jelly>

Hi, Robert

You can insert your UI macro into the separate section (use formatters) of the form and then it is easy to hide (or show) the whole section with g_form.setSectionDisplay method:

function hideMacro() {

      if(condition_is_true) {

              g_form.setSectionDisplay('test_section_name', true);

      } else {

              g_form.setSectionDisplay('test_section_name', false);      

      }

}

But it works on Fuji only.

For previous versions of ServiceNow the DOM manipulation always helps

function hideMacro() {

      var el = document.getElementById('test_id');

      if(condition_is_true) {

              el.style.display = 'block';

      } else {

              el.style.display = 'none';

      }

}

All above are for the client scripts, of course...
