UI Action Form Link

vidhya_mouli · ‎03-23-2023

For a table I have to configure a form link "Show closed activities". This link should only be visible for users with role "emp_admin". When link pressed, the system should open a new tab with list of all closed records that apply to the same Employee.

When I click on the link, nothing is happening. What am I doing wrong?

@vidhya_mouli

gs object is server side and your UI action is client side.

So it's not working.

do this

I hope your state field name and choice value for Closed is correct. if yes then this will work

function showClosedActivites(){

	var url = '/u_manager_activites_sv_list.do?sysparm_query=u_employee=' + g_form.getValue('u_employee') + '^state=Closed';
	g_navigation.open(url, '_blank');
}

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

@vidhya_mouli

are you sure the field name is state and not u_state since it's a custom table?

what's the error in browser console? what happens when user clicks on it?

The field name is state as it is extended from task table.

The browser error I get is as follows:

When the user clicks on the link, nothing happens.

@vidhya_mouli

in script your function name is wrong

it should be this

showClosedActivities and not showClosedActivites
