Need help on implementing Custom Export functionality on UI Builder page.

[sreeshsurendran]

I have a requirement in UI Builder to implement Export functionality.

On click of the button - the records from the list based on the filter should be exported in Excel file.

tried below code, but still seems not working

/**
* @Param {params} params
* @Param {api} params.api
* @Param {any} params.event
*/
function evaluateEvent({api, event}) {
    try {
        // 1. Log incoming event payload for debugging
        if (api && api.context && api.context.log) {
            api.context.log.info("EvaluateEvent Script started. Event data:", event);
        }
 
        // 2. Specify table and filter criteria
        const tableName = "incident"; 
        const encodedQuery = "active=true";
 
        // 3. Build the standard ServiceNow direct export URL
        const downloadUrl = `/${tableName}_list.do?EXCEL&sysparm_query=${encodeURIComponent(encodedQuery)}&sysparm_default_export_fields=all`;
        // 4. Log the generated URL output
        if (api && api.context && api.context.log) {
            api.context.log.info(`Generated Download URL: ${downloadUrl}`);
        }
        return {
            route: null,
            fields: null,
            params: null,
            redirect: null,
            passiveNavigation: null,
            title: null,
            multiInstField: null,
            targetRoute: null,
            // 5. Inject the download target here
            external: {
                url: downloadUrl
            },
            navigationOptions: null
        };
 
    } catch (error) {
        // 6. Catch and log any runtime errors securely
        if (api && api.context && api.context.log) {
            api.context.log.error("Error in evaluateEvent execution:", error);
        }
        return null;
    }
}

Any help on this would be grateful.

Thanks
