Export fields and Variables on the form in pdf format

[Kalyani35]

Hi experts,

I have a requirement where I need to have a UI action to export the fields, related list as well as Variables present on the HR case form. With the OOB UI action, the variables are not exported to pdf.

An alternative is to use the PDFGenerationAPI, using which I can create a pdf having variables, but not sure how can I manage the export of the fields on HR case form in the same pdf as there would fields and related list that need to be exported too.

Does anyone have implemented anything similar to this?

Thanks

@Kalyani35 

you can create UI action with this line in the onClick function. this does exactly the same what printer friendly version does

it will include fields, variables, related list

printList('25000');

UI Action will look like this

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi Ankus,

Thanks for your reply. 

I added it in UI action as you mentioned, but I would like to have this UI action on the Agent workspace, and it did not work. Do you see something wrong here?

Also, would it show variables in the pdf if they are made visible on condition. With Printer friendly version I observed, it does not show the variables which are visible conditionally(even when they are visible on the form).Looks like UI policy/ CS does not apply here while export.

Thanks

If someone is still searching for a solution, You can use the below script under workspace client script on UI action

function onClick(g_form) {

    //Retrieve current record table name and sysID

    var table = g_form.getTableName();

    var sys_id = g_form.getUniqueValue();

    var url = "/"+table+".do?sys_id="+sys_id+"&sysparm_force_row_count=999999999&sysparm_media=print&sysparm_use_polaris=false";

    //Open url

    var win = open(url,"_blank");

    win.focus();

}
