Hide UI Macro icon using onLoad Client script.

ar1 · ‎01-12-2023

Hi All,

We created one UI Macro to display the approver's delegates and it's working fine.
But now we want to hide the UI Macro if the approver don't have the delegates.

We gone through the old threads and tried few possibilities to hide the macro, But no luck.

Can anyone please help us hide the Marco using onLoad client script.

Ui Macro Script:
Name: delegates_approver

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<g:evaluate var="jvar_guid" expression="gs.generateGUID(this);" />
<j:set var="jvar_n" value="show_incidents_${jvar_guid}:${ref}"/>

<g:reference_decoration id="${jvar_n}" field="${ref}"
onclick="showRelatedList('${ref}'); "
title="${gs.getMessage('Show delegates')}" class="btn btn-ref btn-default hide_hosted_asset_flag" image="images/icons/tasks.gifx" icon="icon-tree-right"/>

<script>
function showRelatedList(reference) {
var w = new GlideDialogWindow('show_list');
w.setTitle('Delegate Users');
w.setPreference('table', 'sys_user_delegate_list');
w.setPreference('sysparm_view', 'default');
//Set the query for the list
var approver = g_form.getValue('approver');

var usr = 'user=' + approver + '^approvals=true' + '^delegate.active=true';

w.setPreference('sysparm_query', usr);
w.render();
}
</script>
</j:jelly>

@ar1 the code worked perfectly fine for me pasting it again:

client:

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

alert('one');

//var usr = g_form.getReference('approver');

var gr = new GlideAjax('approverDelegationsCheck');
gr.addParam('sysparm_name','getDelegates');
gr.addParam('sysparm_usr',g_form.getValue('approver'));
gr.getXML(callbackfunction);
} // this bracket is the onload function bracket, it should close here , check your code.
function callbackfunction(response)
{
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
alert(answer);
if(answer==0){
alert('inside loop');

gel("test").style.display="none"; //make sure isolate script of your client script is false

}

SI:

var approverDelegationsCheck = Class.create();
approverDelegationsCheck.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

getDelegates: function()
{
gs.log("raghav111");
var usr = this.getParameter('sysparm_usr');
var app = new GlideRecord('sys_user_delegate');
app.addQuery('user',usr);
app.addQuery('approvals',true);
app.query();
return app.getRowCount();
// while(app.next())
// {
// var delUsr = app.getValue('delegate');
// //var delUsr = app.getRowCount();
// return delUsr;
// }
},

type: 'approverDelegationsCheck'
});

I think you should paste the screenshots of codes. Also I have put logs, check if you are getting this log or any error when you load the approval page.

HI Raghava,
Could you please help on below query:

One last doubt:
Could you please let us know how to check the delegate users start and end dates are can't be in past dates and also below scenario's we need to check

start before current date/time
ends after current date/time

We added below line in UI Macro script level, but some reasons it's not properly checking the start and end dates for delegate users.

//var user = 'user=' + approver + '^approvals=true' + '^delegate.active=true' + '^starts<=javascript&colon;gs.daysAgoEnd(0)^ends>javascript&colon;gs.daysAgoStart(0)';

Advance thanksss.

Add below as encoded query in your script include:

'user=' + approver + '^approvals=true' + '^delegate.active=true' + '^starts<=javascript&colon;gs.daysAgoEnd(0)^ends>javascript&colon;gs.daysAgoStart(0)';

Hi Raghava,
We tried your suggestion, getting below error when we try to save the form.

Advance thanks.

@ar1 this has to be added in script include.

HI Raghava,
Many thanks for the response.
We added the mentioned script line in script include.
After adding the line we're not seeing the Macro Icon even though approver have delegates with their delegation ends this year end.

Advance thanks.
