How to download all attachments from a table

shawna_gerard · ‎07-16-2020

I have a requirement to download all attachments on a table from a button. I have tried using a UI Action and Processor, via this link

https://www.servicenowguru.com/scripting/download-attachments-zip-file/#comment-34336

But It cannot find the Processor. I believe I read that it is deprecated now as I am in New York.

Does anyone have a current solution to this?

Hi @shawna.gerard ,

I got it working as a list UI action on incident table. You'll get one zip for each sys_id passed.

Below is the UI action script:

function downloadAll() {
  selSysIds = g_list.getChecked();
  sysIdList = selSysIds.split(',');
  for (var i=0;i<=sysIdList.length;i++)
  {
    window.open('/download_all_attachments.do?sysparm_sys_id='+sysIdList[i],"_blank");
  }

}

Here's the UI Action screenshot for the setting that I had used:

Hi,

I haven't tested it, but reading quickly through what Mark wrote, you also need to create the processor yourself, not only the UI Action. Have you done that?

Yes. but it gives me a

error.

I am on the New York release, so I believe that new Processors are no longer supported? I did find an out of the box download all attachments processor though. Now I just need it to download from a list instead of individual records.

Hi @shawna.gerard ,

Create a UI action on your table, and add the line below to the script:

gs.setRedirect('/download_all_attachments.do?sysparm_sys_id='+current.sys_id);
