UI action use scratchpad

Lean S · ‎02-10-2021

HI All,

I have a business rule capturing user logged in with some roles validation and captured in scratchpad value. and now I want to use that scratchpad in UI action - conditions section for displaying button on validation. How can I use g_scratchpad in UI action. Please guide

Thanks,

Lean S

If you are doing role validation in your UI action, you don't need to use the scratchpad.

Example: Only logged in Users with itil can see the UI action
gs.hasRole('itil')

If for some reason you are doing something unique with your check, you can do the scratchpad

Business Rule Display Storing Scratchpad Value

g_scratchpad.users = ['62826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5df1', 'a8f98bb0eb32010045e1a5115206fe3a'];

UI action Check

g_scratchpad.users.indexOf(gs.getUserID()) >-1

My Admin account could not see the UI Action, But when I impersonate one of the users listed in the scratchpad, I can see it.

Hello,

if the display business rule is capturing the g_scratchpad variables, you can use the same in client side scripting of UI action
