You can check client check box and define onclick function for your ui action

Options below, with limitations

1) Place a function in an onload script (only works in global scope)

Client Script

function onLoad() {

}


// You can call this in UI Actions
// Only works in global scope (does not work in scoped apps)
// Will only work for UI Action of the same table
function yourFunctionHere() {
// Code here
}

UI Action

yourFunctionHere();

2) Write a UI Script

UI Script yourFunctionHere

// This will be callable from all client scripts form any table
// If global is not ticked, you must use ScriptLoader API

function yourFunctionHere() {
// Code here
}

UI Action

//If global is not ticked on UI Script
getScripts("yourFunctionHere", runScripts)

function runScripts() {

yourFunctionHere();

}

//If global is ticked on UI Script
yourFunctionHere();

Hi,

I am trying to automate and run the UI Action "Refresh Impacted Services" [action name ="refresh_impacted_services"] in the Change form on Save (Load).

I have tried your code but its not working. 

Firstly I'm not a developer (so its find it on google and give it a go....)

so the bit "Code here" in your script, am I supposed to write some code to make this work?

function onLoad() {

}
function refresh_impacted_services() {
// Code here << do I need anything here??

}

If no code required, then any idea why its not working?

Thanks
Nigel
