UI Action to export a form to pdf

[addenkik]

I am trying to create a button to export my problem form to pdf. Is it possible to call Export > PDF > Portrait context menu using UI Action?

Put this URL at the end of your instance:
nav_to.do?uri=sys_ui_context_menu.do?sys_id=d1e5d8a50a0a0b3e00459c252c81e649

This is where that code is placed. You should be able to reuse it for your needs.

Hi Matt,

I tried that but it redirects me to the PDF Context Menu form.

Thanks

Correct, that's where the code is. You will have to transfer that code to a UI Action. There are some notes in there about available variables. I sent this so you could start by creating the UI Action with this code as a basis(needing some modification of course). For example, you will need to replace variable referencing the sys_id.

Give it a shot, post your code if it doesn't work and we can go from there.

Hi,

I tried the same piece of code in my UI Action but it is redirecting to the previous visited page. Please let me know if where I should make changes to this code. Here is the code I have been using,

runContextAction();

function runContextAction() {

    var sysparm_rows = g_list.grandTotalRows;

    var num_rows = parseInt(sysparm_rows);

    var sysparm_query = g_list.getQuery({all: true});

    var sysparm_view = g_list.view;

    if (num_rows < g_export_warn_threshold) {

          var dialog = new GwtPollDialog(g_list.tableName, sysparm_query, sysparm_rows, sysparm_view, 'unload_pdf');

          dialog.execute();

          return;

    }

    var dialog = new GwtExportScheduleDialog(g_list.tableName, sysparm_query, sysparm_rows, sysparm_view, 'unload_pdf');

    dialog.execute();

}
