Hi All,

Does anyone know if there is any documentation for the js-object "view"?
I can only find references to .startsWith and you can do a compare like view == 'ess', but I simply want to get the view-name.

Thanks in advance
Rachel

Halow
For the view name you have to navigate to System UI->Views module. In this table you can get the name of each views available in the SNC.

Are you trying to determine, within a client script, what view of a form is in use?

Or something else?

On the client side, this should help you along.

On the server side, this should help as well

For finding the views for the particular table:

  1. Open the context menu in the list view and check the view defined to the table

  2. Navigate to sys_ui_view table and find the system name for the views that are listed in the table list.
    Example: 'ess' is the system name for 'self service' view

Mark as helpful, if it's useful.

Thanks,
Maharajan
