When using "Update All" what is the view the system selects?

smaxwell · ‎02-18-2016

I am trying to determine how the system select the view to use when performing an update all or update selected from a list. The view varies from table to table so I presume this can be configured somehow.

Anyone have any ideas?

/**

 * Script executed on the Client for this menu action

 *

 * The following variables are available to the script:

 *       'g_list' the GlideList2 that the script is running against (only valid for List context menus)

 *       'g_fieldName' the name of the field that the context menu is running against (only valid for List context menus)

 *       'g_sysId' the sys_id of the row or form that the script is running against

 *       'rowSysId' is also set to the sys_id of the row to support legacy actions, but g_sysId is preferred

 */

runContextAction();



function runContextAction() {

     var url = new GlideURL(g_list.tableName + '_update.do');

     url.addParam('sys_action', 'sysverb_multiple_update');

     url.addParam('sysparm_multiple', 'true');

     url.addParam('sysparm_nostack', 'yes');

     url.addParam('sysparm_query', g_list.getQuery({fixed: true}));

     url.addParam('sysparm_view', g_list.getView());

     

     var msg = ['Update the entire list?', 'records'];

     var answer = new GwtMessage().getMessages(msg);

     

     if (!confirm(answer['Update the entire list?'] + " (" + g_list.grandTotalRows + " " + answer['records'] + ")"))

           return;

     

     window.location = url.getURL();

}

Mike,

Perfect, this is exactly what I was racking my brain trying to find.

Thanks,
