i need to get the current user session ID by button in the computer table

// global scope returns Java String

// app scopes return JavaScript String

gs.getSessionID();


// OR


// global scope only - Java String

gs.getSession().getSessionID();

To show this in the UI to a user:

Display business rule:

g_scratchpad.user_session_id = gs.getSessionID();

UI Action - Client

alert('Your session ID is: ' + g_scratchpad.user_session_id || 'Unknown');
