Create Application Menu's dynamic module

[quangminh_doan]

Hi experts,

I have read some other posts about dynamic module within the Application Menu, but none of them help me solve my problem.

1. I have a list of Skill Evaluation Submission. The Submission's fields are as below:

2. I have 3 groups which are: SE User, SE PM, SE CoE

I need to create a module shows a list of Submission record, where:

• Records with state = "Submitted" should be visible to users in SE PM group
• Records with state = "Reviewed" should be visible to users in SE CoE group

I really appreciate your help

Hello @quangminh_doan ,

You can achieve it using a before query business rule.

In Advance script check

If current user belongs to SE PM group then var enqr= (state = "Submitted")

Else if current user belongs to  SE CoE group then enqr = (state="Reviewed"). 

*Please create the encoded query from list filter.

Finally use current.addEncodedQuery(enqr);

This will give you dynamic results.

Hope this answers will be helpful.

Please mark the answer as helpful and correct.

Hi @Rajat_Choudhary 

I have another before query BR that restricts SE User to view all Submission records (the code is as below):

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    // Add your code here
    if (gs.getSession().isInteractive() && gs.hasRole('x_955989_se.se_admin')) {
        current.addEncodedQuery('numberISNOTEMPTY');
    } else {
        var currentUser = gs.getUserID();

        current.addQuery('assigned_to', currentUser);
    }
})(current, previous);

The reason why I create this BR because somehow my ACL on read permission didn't work as I expected.

It seems that if I create a new before query BR as your suggestion, the new one wont' work with the warning message "Invalid query detected, please check logs for details [Unknown field null in table x_955989_se_submission]".

Is there any other way to solve my mentioned problem? (I'm thinking of create a Script Include, then select the link type of Module as Script and call the Script Include, but I don't know how to do this properly)

Hi @quangminh_doan ,

You can achieve it with script:

In script include create a function with code as below:

If current user belongs to SE PM group then var enqr= (state = "Submitted")

Else if current user belongs to  SE CoE group then enqr = (state="Reviewed"). 

Then create a GlideRecord query on submission table.

Use the same encoded query. 

Then push the sys_id in an array and return it.

This will allow you to have different set of sysId.

Hi @Rajat_Choudhary ,

Thanks for your advice on the script include. I have a look at the system logs and the script really returns an array of sys_id. Just another question is how to use this script include in module? I tried this syntax javascript: new myScriptIncludeName().functionName() in argument when crate module but it didn't work as I expected.
