Confirm box on a ServerSide/Client Side UI Action

[Stacy1]

I have a UI action that is a Client side and Server Side.   I already have an onClick defined for the UI action.   However, my user's want a confirmation box to popup asking if they are sure they want to complete the action.  

Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks,

Stacy

Hi Stacy,

You can have something like below in your onClick on client side to get confirmation from user to proceed further.

      var answer=confirm("Are you sure you want to complete the action?");

      if (answer==true)

              {

              gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'cancel_change'); //MUST call the 'Action name' set in this UI Action

      }

      else

              {

              return false;

      }

Within your on-click script add something like the following:

       var usrResponse = confirm('Are you sure you want to do Something?');
       if (usrResponse == true) {

         } else {
               return false
       }

Hello stacy,

you can write something like

on UI action ::onclick : myClientSideFunction()

script::

function myClientSideFunction(){

if(confirm("Are you sure you want to perform this action?")){

gsftSubmit(null,g_form.getFormElement(),'actionnamevalue');

}else{

return false;

}

}

if(typeof window == 'undefined'){

                myServerSideFunction();

}

function myServerSideFunction(){

your server side logic what ever you wanna write;

}

Please mark it helpful or correct if it fulfills the request.

Thanks.

You can go through the wiki article- Scripting Alert, Info, and Error Messages - ServiceNow Wiki

You can write an onsubmit client script-

Script code:-

function onSubmit() {

    var ConfirmOrNot=confirm("Do you want to submit?");

      if (ConfirmOrNot==true)

              {

return true;

              }

      else

              {

              return false;

              }

}
