Want to show different Dashbaord as homepage From 9am to 5pm and different from 5pm to 9am how can we achieve that with the help of sys_id.
I have already used fix script to set the value of dashboard homepage in user_preference table but when i am opening a new dashboard it will automatically set as my homepage.

@vinay167 

may be you can use UI script and check the current time for that logged in user and then set the preference

I haven't tested this though.

1) create UI script and use GlideAjax to set the homepage

2) sample script include

var userId = gs.getUserID();
    var now = new GlideDateTime();
    var hour = parseInt(now.getDisplayValue().split(' ')[1].split(':')[0], 10);
    var ampm = now.getDisplayValue().split(' ')[2];
    if (ampm === 'PM' && hour !== 12) hour += 12;
    if (ampm === 'AM' && hour === 12) hour = 0;

    var dashboardUrl;
    // 9am to 5pm
    if (hour >= 9 && hour < 17) {
        dashboardUrl = '$pa_dashboard.do?embedded=true&sysparm_dashboard=SYS_ID_DAY'; // Replace SYS_ID_DAY
    } else {
        dashboardUrl = '$pa_dashboard.do?embedded=true&sysparm_dashboard=SYS_ID_NIGHT'; // Replace SYS_ID_NIGHT
    }

    // Set user preference for homepage
    var pref = new GlideRecord('sys_user_preference');
    pref.addQuery('user', userId);
    pref.addQuery('name', 'my_home_navigation_page');
    pref.query();
    if (pref.next()) {
        pref.value = dashboardUrl;
        pref.update();
    } else {
        pref.initialize();
        pref.user = userId;
        pref.name = 'my_home_navigation_page';
        pref.type = 'string';
        pref.value = dashboardUrl;
        pref.insert();
    }

Hello,

 

Use a Scripted Redirect to send users to different dashboards based on time (9am–5pm vs 5pm–9am) using their sys_id. This avoids modifying user_preference and prevents homepage override. Example:

(function redirectUser(request, response) {
var hour = new GlideDateTime().getHourLocalTime();
var targetSysId = (hour >= 9 && hour < 17) ? 'day_dashboard_sysid' : 'night_dashboard_sysid';
response.sendRedirect('/$pa_dashboard.do?sys_id=' + targetSysId);
})(request, response);

 

Best Regard,

Sally
