How can I show alert on click of "approve" action in employee center approvals under My task

[Community Alums]

Hi @mr18 ,

Go to this widget, inside Client controller, add the alert like this:

Thank you @Community Alums for the reply.

I want to show the alert only if the approval is coming from specific catalog item.

So is there any possibility where I can check the condition something like source_table is sc_req_item and cat_item is xyz.

Really appreciate for your help

Thank you

@mr18 , I just successfully implemented this but will involves with interacting with multiple Employee Center widgets including cloning and modifying both Client and Server scripts.

Let's see if we have any other alternative methods from anyone else

HI @mr18 ,
I trust you are doing great.
You can add the confirmation box

Client script :

function confirmApproval() {
    var currentRecord = g_form.getUniqueValue(); // Gets the unique ID of the current record

    // AJAX to get details from the server
    var ga = new GlideAjax('CustomApprovalCheck'); // 'CustomApprovalCheck' is the Script Include you'll create
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'checkApprovalSource');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_record_id', currentRecord);
    ga.getXML(checkResponse);

    function checkResponse(response) {
        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        if (answer === 'true') {
            var conf = confirm("Are you sure you want to approve this task?");
            return conf; // Proceed with or cancel the action based on user choice
        } else {
            return true; // Proceeds normally if the condition is not met
        }
    }
}

Script include :

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

    checkApprovalSource: function(recordId) {
        var gr = new GlideRecord('approval'); // Assuming 'approval' is the table
        gr.get(recordId);
        if (gr.source_table == 'sc_req_item' && gr.cat_item == 'xyz') { // Replace 'xyz' with the sys_id of the specific catalog item
            return 'true';
        }
        return 'false';
    },

    type: 'CustomApprovalCheck'
};
