We have a need to extract each detail of an Incident record to pdf in bulk to a local folder

[pedro_antonio]

Hello All happy Day,

We have a requirement to save the details of each Incident and save it to the download File Location. We started with this script but I am a little unsure how to sort out the placeholders for :

generatePDF

savePDFToDownloads

I would assume I require a POST method so I can save the pdfs generated to a local folder like the downloads. Would appreciate someone can shed some light how to proceed. Thank you all 🙂

var IncidentPDFGenerator = Class.create();
IncidentPDFGenerator.prototype = {
    initialize: function() {},

    generateAndSavePDFs: function() {
        var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
        gr.setLimit(100); // Query 100 records
        gr.query();
        
        while (gr.next()) {
            var incidentDetails = this.getIncidentDetails(gr);
            var pdfContent = this.generatePDF(incidentDetails);
            this.savePDFToDownloads(gr.getValue('number'), pdfContent);
        }
    },

    getIncidentDetails: function(gr) {
        // Collect incident details
        return {
            number: gr.getValue('number'),
            short_description: gr.getValue('short_description'),
            description: gr.getValue('description'),
            // Add other fields as needed
        };
    },

    generatePDF: function(details) {
        // Generate PDF content from incident details
        // This is a placeholder function. You need to implement PDF generation logic.
        return "PDF content for incident " + details.number;
    },

    savePDFToDownloads: function(fileName, pdfContent) {
        // Save the PDF to the downloads folder
        // This is a placeholder function. You need to implement file saving logic.
        var filePath = 'C:/Users/YourUsername/Downloads/' + fileName + '.pdf';
        // Use appropriate method to save pdfContent to filePath
        gs.info('Saving PDF to ' + filePath);
    },

    type: 'IncidentPDFGenerator'
};

// Run the script
var generator = new IncidentPDFGenerator();
generator.generateAndSavePDFs();
