Views and View Rules

[Ashutosh Munot1]

Hi guys,

i have one basic question,

i read articles on wiki about View and View Rules.

But i am not getting exactly how can i have someone view a specific view.

i have one view on incident and i want it to be viewed by one particular user with particular role.

For ex: if i have role abc, he should view xyz view.

Hi Ashutosh,

Then you can achieve the functionality by onload client script.

we have "switchView" function to Achieve that.

switchView(type,table,view);

The table and view parameters should be self explanatory. The 'type' parameter is either 'list' (to redirect to a list view) or 'section' (to change to a form view). Here's an example client script that shows how you could use 'switchView' to change the incident form view to 'ess' if the 'Category' field changed to a value of 'hardware'.

function onLoad() {

                //Change to the 'ess' view if the Category is 'Hardware'

                if(RoleMatching){

                      switchView('section','table_name','view_name');

                }

I'm using a switchView similar to the one above, and I'm having a problem because of the fact that it runs onLoad. I want the user to see a specific view by default, but have the ability to switch to a different view if they'd like. However, using the dropdown to change views re-loads the page, causing the switchView to execute. As a result, the user is forced to only ever see the view defined in the script.

Is there any way around this?

Hi Paramveer,

Can you please help me creating a code. I want to switch a view when I select CI (Configuration Item).

So if my Configuration item is "Project" my incident should switch into Project form.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance.

@paramveer - I've tried this but for some reason, I'm stuck on an infinite loop. I'm using an onload client script and I'm checking the Assignment Group of the record. Is there a way to check which is the current view so I can add a condition for it? Thanks!

Hi All,

Just to quickly chip in to anyone interested of how to do it in Eureka using Business Rule:

// table_nameGetViewName

function cmdb_ci_serviceGetViewName() {

          if (your condition here) {

                    return (answer = "your_view_name");

          }

          answer = "default";

}

// table_name_listGetViewName

function cmdb_ci_service_listGetViewName() {

          cmdb_ci_serviceGetViewName();

}

Cheers

Greg
