UI Action Button Script

[Dizy M]

Hi!

I'd like to ask if anyone here has an idea what went wrong withthis code?

This is our UI Action button script. 

The requirement is if the employee company code is "0003", it will open a pop up url and if the employee code is not "0003" it will open a different pop up url.

function changeView(){

   var EID = g_form.getValue('u_eid');
		var table = g_form.getTableName();
		var id = g_form.getUniqueValue();	
	
 var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user");
        gr.addQuery("sys_id", EID);
        gr.query();
        if (gr.next()) {
            if (gr.u_companycd == '0003') {
		var url = table + ".do?sys_id=" + id + "&sysparm_view=EMPLOYEEVIEW";
		g_navigation.openPopup(url);
			}
else{
		var url2 = table + ".do?sys_id=" + id + "&sysparm_view=SUPERVISORVIEW";
		g_navigation.openPopup(url2);
}

			}}

 But what happened  was whenever I click the UI Action button, it doesn't show anything , it doesn't work..

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hi Dizy,

Did you try window.open()? If not, please modify you code as below and try.

function changeView(){

   var EID = g_form.getValue('u_eid');
		var table = g_form.getTableName();
		var id = g_form.getUniqueValue();	
	
 var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user");
        gr.addQuery("sys_id", EID);
        gr.query();
        if (gr.next()) {
            if (gr.u_companycd == '0003') {
		var url = table + ".do?sys_id=" + id + "&sysparm_view=EMPLOYEEVIEW";
		window.open(url, '_blank');
			}
else{
		var url2 = table + ".do?sys_id=" + id + "&sysparm_view=SUPERVISORVIEW";
		window.open(url2, '_blank');
}

			}}

If my answer helps then please mark it Helpful or Correct! 

Thanks,

Also please check if you have entered the function name in the onClick field of the UI action form.

Hi @Utpal Dutta Thank you for your reply!

The "g_navigation.openPopup" seems working fine.. 

Because when I try the code below, it shows the url, it works . However when I tried to query the sys user table and tried to get if the employee company code is 0003, it doesnt pop up the link... 

function changeView(){

	try{
		var table = g_form.getTableName();
		var id = g_form.getUniqueValue();		
		var url = table + ".do?sys_id=" + id + "&sysparm_view=EMPLOYEEVIEW";
		g_navigation.openPopup(url);
	}
	catch(err){
		console.log(err);
	}}

@Dizy M 

are you sure your UI action is configured correctly to run the function?
