User details on client script

[ceraulo]

Hello!

How do I get other current user details (example location, department, phone) in a client script?

Thank you.

Hi,

If you talking about the logged in user, I would say that you use a Display Business rule to get the info and put that into the g_scratchpad. then you can reach that scratchpad in the client script.

Here is a good example: Example - retrieve server data using g_scratchpad | ServiceNow Docs

Hi 

Create a Client Callable Script include :- 

var GetUserDetailsAjax = Class.create();
GetUserDetailsAjax.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
getInfo: function(){


   var obj={};
   obj.location='';
   obj.email='';
   obj.phone='';
   obj.street='';
   var id=this.getParameter('sysparm_user_id');
   var gr= new GlideRecord('sys_user');
   if(gr.get(id)){
	   
   if(gr.location!='')

   obj.location=gr.location.city.toString();
   obj.zip=gr.zip.toString();
   obj.street=gr.street.toString();
   obj.phone=gr.phone.toString();
   obj.email=gr.email.toString();

gs.addInfoMessage(gr.location.city);
   }


   return JSON.stringify(obj);


   },
	
    type: 'GetUserDetailsAjax'
});

onChange Client Script :-

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
      return;
   }
	
	var id = g_form.getValue('u_reference_1');


   var ga = new GlideAjax('GetUserDetailsAjax');


   ga.addParam('sysparm_name','getInfo');


   ga.addParam('sysparm_user_id',id);


   ga.getXML(CallBack);



   function CallBack(response)
	{


   var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");


   var user=JSON.parse(answer);


   //g_form.setValue('req_email', user.email);


   //g_form.setValue('req_phone', user.phone);


   //g_form.setValue('address1', user.street);


   //g_form.setValue('city_state_zip', user.location);


   }

   
}

Mark Correct if it helps.

Hi,

If you want to achieve by client script then use g_user it will give you all information of user.

Hi,

If you want to fetch current user data in Client script then you can achieve it  by g_user object.And in server side you can fetch by Glide System function.
