passing values from a form to ui page through a ui action

[himanshuverma]

Hi all

I am trying to redirect from a form to a ui page through a ui action.

the UI page contains the same fields as the form.

I want to display the values from the corresponding form on the ui page fields.

How can i pass the values from the form to ui page on pressing UI action button and display it on the corresponding fields of ui page?

Thanx in advance

Regards

Himanshu

You can use a client side UI Action to pass variables to a UI Page.

Here is a sample script for the UI action. The UI Action's Onclick field would contain "do_call_ui_page()"

function do_call_ui_page(){
   var comment_block = g_form.getValue('variable_1');
   var v1 = g_form.getValue('variable_1');
   var v2 = g_form.getValue('variable_2');
   var gDialog = new GlideDialogWindow("Your UI Page");
   gDialog.setTitle('Your UI Page Title');
   gDialog.setPreference('table','this_table');
   gDialog.setPreference('v1',v1 + '' || ''); // convert to string and OR with empty string
   gDialog.setPreference('v2',v2 + '' || '');
   gDialog.render();
}

Then you can retrieve the variables on the UI Page:

<g:evaluate var="jvar_v1" expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('v1')" />
<g:evaluate var="jvar_v2" expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('v2')" />

These variables can then be referenced somewhere in the html of your UI page:

<span id="var1">${jvar_v1}</span>
. . .
<span id="var2">${jvar_v2}</span>

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
Geoff.

Hello Geoff,

Do you know how I can access the form data in the client script section of the UI Page? Also how can I then fill data on the form from the UI Page?

Thanks,

Andrew
