Hi All,

I need to get the display name of all group's of which the current logged in user is a member. Although , i am able to print the group's sys_id, but the groups display name isnt coming. Any help, please

 

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

var currentuser=g_user.userID;

var obj= new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
obj.addQuery('user',currentuser);
obj.query();
while(obj.next())
{
var grpname=obj.group.getDisplayValue();   // display name is not coming here
alert(' logged in user is member of  : '+grpname);      

}

}

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

This is the not a correct way to get the group details.. you should avoid glide record in client script. ("Best Practice")

i would suggest, mention glide record part in script include and call your function in your client script by using Glide Ajax.

 

here you go..

 

Script include:

 

var group = Class.create();
group.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

hello: function()
{
groupArr=[];
var json = new JSON();
var grmember = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');
grmember.addQuery('user',gs.getUserID());
grmember.query();
while(grmember.next()){
groupArr.push(grmember.group.getDisplayValue());

}
var data = json.encode(groupArr);
return data;

},

type: 'group'
});

 

 

Client Script:

 

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

var ga = new GlideAjax('group');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'hello');
ga.getXML(HelloWorldParse);

function HelloWorldParse(response) {
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
var s = answer.evalJSON(); //Transform the JSON string to an object
for( var i=0 ; i < s.length ; i++) {
alert(s[i]);
}

}

}

Hi,

It is advised to use display Business Rule. We should avoid GlideRecord API in client script API.

 

Use display business rule and store data in g_scratchpad variable and access this on client side. 

 

BR code

current.g_scratchpad.variable=values;

 

 

Client Side

onLoad Script

alert(g_form.g_scratchpad.variable)

 

 

Thanks
