How to Add VIP visual indicator for “Requested for” on RITM (similar to Incident Caller VIP)

Hi Team,

I have a requirement to visually highlight VIP users on the Requested Item (RITM) form.


📌 Requirement

On the Requested Item [sc_req_item] form:

  • Field: Requested for (requested_for)
  • If the selected user has VIP = true (in sys_user.vip):
    • Show a VIP icon / decoration on the field, and optionally
    • Change the field text color (e.g., red) to make it stand out
  • If the user is not VIP:
    • No VIP indicator / normal display

This needs to work both when:

  1. The RITM is opened (onLoad)
  2. The Requested for field is changed by the user (onChange)


can anyone please help me - how to achieve this requriment .

thanks in advance 

2 ACCEPTED SOLUTIONS

This is for sc_task.

1. Onload client script :

code: Client script (script include already shared)

function onLoad() {

var reqLabel = g_form.getLabel("request_item.requested_for");
var reqField = g_form.getDisplayBox("request_item.requested_for");
var innerHtml = "<span id=\"status.sc_task.request_item.requested_for\" title=\"On behalf of another individual\" mandatory=\"false\" oclass=\"\" aria-label=\"\" class=\" required-marker\"></span><span title=\"On behalf of another individual\" class=\"label-text\" data-html=\"false\">Requested for</span>";

if (!reqLabel || !reqField){
return;
}

if (g_form.getValue("request_item.requested_for")!=null){
if(!g_scratchpad.u_vip){
var ga = new GlideAjax('CallerVIP');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name','getVIP');
ga.addParam('sysparm_caller', g_form.getValue("request_item.requested_for"));
ga.getXMLAnswer(vipTaskCallback);
}
else {
vipTaskCallback(g_scratchpad);
}
}
else {
removeTaskVIPStyles(reqLabel, reqField);

}

function vipTaskCallback(requestedFor) {
if (!requestedFor.u_vip){
requestedFor = requestedFor.evalJSON();
}

//check for VIP status
if (requestedFor.u_vip.toString() == 'true') {
setTaskVIPStyles(reqLabel, reqField);
}
else {
removeTaskVIPStyles(reqLabel, reqField);
}

}

function setTaskVIPStyles(label, field){

if (label) {
label.innerHTML = "<img src='images/icons/vip.gif'/>" + label.innerHTML;

}
//change the caller's name field to red text
if (field) {
field.style.color='red';
}
}

function removeTaskVIPStyles(label, field){
if (label) {
label.innerHTML = innerHtml;
}
if (field) {
field.style.color = '';
}
}
}

 

3. Style on sc_task : do it same way as ritm is done.

@nameisnani 

It's an easy requirement.

I suggested to check OOTB client script on incident table

No need of GlideAjax and script Include

this client script should work for RITM

I simply made changes to the OOTB client script, changed script, changed table, field name and Did Insert and Stay

Then made "Isolate Script" = False

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
	var callerLabel = $('label.sc_req_item.requested_for');
	var callerField = $('sys_display.sc_req_item.requested_for');
	if (!callerLabel || !callerField)
		return;
	
	if (!newValue) {
		callerLabel.setStyle({backgroundImage: ""});
		callerField.setStyle({color: ""});
		return;
	}
	g_form.getReference('requested_for', vipCallerCallback);
}

function vipCallerCallback(caller) {
	var callerLabel = $('label.sc_req_item.requested_for').down('label');
	var callerField = $('sys_display.sc_req_item.requested_for');
	if (!callerLabel || !callerField)
		return;
	
	//check for VIP status
	if (caller.vip == 'true') {
		var bgPosition = "95% 55%";
		if (document.documentElement.getAttribute('data-doctype') == 'true')
			bgPosition = "5% 45%";
			
		callerLabel.setStyle({backgroundImage: "url(images/icons/vip.gif)", backgroundRepeat: "no-repeat", backgroundPosition: bgPosition, paddingLeft: '30px' });
		callerField.setStyle({color: "red"});
	} else {
		callerLabel.setStyle({backgroundImage: ""});
		callerField.setStyle({color: ""});
	}
}

As per  your screen shot,  VIP icon is coming  for VIP user.

 

Is that VIP icon is coming for non-vip user. Can you confirm.
