how to Auto populate based on logged in user

[Ashok_308]

I want to Auto populate Requested by, requested for ,user id ,contact number, location and email fields.

[Ashok_308]

It would be Reference field only.

@Ashok_308 
have you tried the above code which i have mentioned?

for populating other field values we do have new feature in variable dictionary as "dependent value" so you choose requested for all(phone , email , location details etc)

let me know if this works for you.!!

If you are using a Catalog Item, you can do this via an onChange Catalog Client script as below

onChange Catalog Client Script

Variable = Requested for

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

  return;

}

var ga = new GlideAjax('CheckRecords');

ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'checkRecordPresent');

ga.addParam('sysparm_userID, newValue);

ga.getXML(updateValues);

function updateValues(response){

var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

var parsedAnswer = JSON.parse(answer);

g_form.setValue('email', parsedAnswer.email);

g_form.setValue('employee_id', parsedAnswer.employee);

g_form.setValue('manager_name', parsedAnswer.manager);

g_form.setValue('title', parsedAnswer.title);

g_form.setValue('cost_center', parsedAnswer.costcenter);

g_form.setValue('application', parsedAnswer.application);

}

}

Script Include

var CheckRecords = Class.create();

CheckRecords.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

checkRecordPresent: function(){

var obj = {

'email': '',

'employee_id': '',

'manager_name': '',

'title': '',

'cost_center': '',

'application': ''

};

var id = this.getParameter('sysparm_userID');           

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

gr.addQuery('sys_id', id);

gr.setLimit(1);

gr.query();

if(gr.next()){

obj['email'] = gr.email;

obj['employee_id'] = gr.employee_number;

obj['manager_name'] = gr.manager;

obj['title'] = gr.title;

obj['cost_center'] = gr.cost_center;

obj['application'] = gr.application;

 }

return JSON.stringify(obj);

},

 type: 'CheckRecords'

});

1. if you want to auto populate field with logged in user use gs.getUser(); will return logged in User object and you do dot walking for userid, location. email, contact number. (in Dictionary default value).

2.Use on change client script and script include to auto populate on selecting any user.
