how to add Info Message to List Action Assignment in Workspace

[Alon Grod]

Hi,

This is my List Action Assignment, the functionality is working find but im trying add g_from.addInfoMessage('hi') but nothing is happening.
How can I add info message so it will be visible to the user in List view.

function onClick() {

    var checkedRecords = g_list.getChecked();
	//gs.addInfoMessage('hi');
	//g_form.addInfoMessage('tttt');
    var ga = new GlideAjax('WmTaskBatchPdfExporter');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'isPdf'); // Setting input
    ga.addParam('sysparm_sys', checkedRecords);

    ga.getXML(ajaxCallback);
}

function ajaxCallback(response) {
    var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
    if (answer) {
		
		top.location.href = answer;
       
    }
}

Hi,

g_form.addInfoMessage() works only on form views, so it won’t display anything in a List Action.

To show a message in List view:

• If the List Action is server-side, use:

  gs.addInfoMessage('Hi');

  This will display the message at the top of the list.

• If it’s a client-side List Action, g_form is not available—use an alert() or call a server-side script to return a message.

This is expected behavior in ServiceNow.

I don't think it's going to work in workspace list action

Hi @Alon Grod ,

g_form.addInfoMessage('hi');  this will work only on the forms

List Action  - which runs in a list context

gs.addInfoMessage() - this use server side .

workaround : you can create the UI action.(LIST) . using that UI action you can show the message and easily pass the client side data to server side. and display info message 

also you can try this but i tried this it was not working
