UI Page Query

[dhirajwakodikar]

I have created 2 UI pages, 1st ui page contains certain fields and a create button. When all fields are filled and button is clicked, it inserts all data in a table which contains similar fields and also opens a popup which is the 2nd ui page.

The 2nd UI page also contains fields and an 'Add' button on clicking of which i should display values of both 1st and 2nd ui page in the 2nd ui page only in tabular form.

i managed to link 2 UI pages, snapshots:

The page with fields tracker number, name etc is my 1st ui page and the table format is the 2nd ui page. After i click on add task on 2nd ui page, all values from 1st and 2nd ui page should appear.

How do i achieve this ?

I searched and came to know about passing values to url however i am not redirecting to url here because i want it to open in same window. The code that i am using for redirection is:

var dd = new GlideDialogWindow("Demand Task form"); // Demand Task form is 2nd ui page's name

dd.render();

Any help on this please.

Hi Dhiraj,

you can pass values while calling the ui page through GlideDialogWindow using setPreference().

Example below:

sending values to ui page 2

dd.setPreference('table', 'incident_list');

dd.setPreference('sysparm_view', 'default');

getting values in ui page 2

highlighted in bold are the first parameters of setPreference()

<g:evaluate var="jvar_short_text" expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('table')" />

<g:evaluate var="jvar_comments_text" expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('sysparm_view')" />

Hi Anurag,

That was really helpful. I am now able to fetch values in 2nd ui page. However, how do i ensure that the info is displayed only after i click the add task button and not otherwise ?

I mean if i directly write table tags and insert these fetched values, it displayes the table and values by defacult which is not my requirement. I only want to display the fetched value after the 'Add task' button is clicked.

I assume onclick also won't help because i can't use html code in client script.

Any suggestions ?

The GlideDialogWindow class has a setPreference function, in which you have access on these variables in the code:

"When all fields are filled and button is clicked, it inserts all data in a table" ->

does this means the data is already saved in a gliderecord in the backend? Therefore you can also get the data from the gliderecord from the 1st page on the 2nd page.
