Retrieve User Location with Catalog Client Script

[spinol611]

Hello!

Currently I am trying to query a user locations based off of the "requested_for" variable. The location of the user resides on the field "u_exp". The "requested_for" variable points to the sys_user table and is grabbing the logged in user as a default value. My final goal: If a user is from a certain location ex: US, then make another variable read-only and mark the checkbox true.

However I have not had any luck, even though I thought I was setting up the query correctly. Any help is much appreciated as I am new to the scripting.

Thanks!

var usr = g_user.userID();

var uq = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

uq.addQuery('sys_id',usr);

uq.query();

if(uq.next()){

        alert(usr);

}

Hi Stephen,

Please check the below link. I have pasted a script here which will help you

This is what I have so far and it is not working ark:

Onload Script:

Script include:

[Shishir Srivast]

you can try with getReference() function to check the location field and the take appropriate action.

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

    var caller = g_form.getReference('requested_for', doAlert);

}

function doAlert(caller) {

  if (caller.u_exp.name== 'US') //dot walk to location field name

    g_form.setDisplay('citizen', false); // Please check if citizen field name is correct

else

    g_form.setDisplay('citizen', true);

}

explorenow that was also unsuccessful. I have verified that "citizen" is the correct variable name on the catalog form. "u_exp" contains the information for the location as a single-line text string value
