[chandan31]

Hi All,

Can you please explain me visibility condition checkout ui action  : (!(new KBCommon().isStackNameDialog()) && (new KBCommon().isVersioningEnabled()) && (new KBVersioning().canCheckout(current))) , retire :!(new KBCommon().isStackNameDialog()) && (new KBKnowledge().canRetire(current)) && (new KBCommon().canProvideReplacementArticle()) && (current.sys_class_name != 'kb_knowledge_block').

These two are ui action but i am not able to understand the script .

Thanks and Regards,

chandan

For checkout, the UI action will be displayed if:

• Versioning is enabled
• The following is evaluated in the canCheckout function
  • is not an external article
  • is a valid version (not empty)
  • is a published article
  • hasn't been checked out
  • is a member or manager of the ownership group, if the ownership group is defined
  • Is the knowledge base owner
  • Is one of the knowledge base managers
  • If ownership group is empty, if the user meets the user criteria of 'can contribute'

For retirement

• is the latest version
• is published
• is a member or manager of the ownership group, if the ownership group is defined
• Is the knowledge base owner
• Is one of the knowledge base managers
• If ownership group is empty, if the user meets the user criteria of 'can contribute'
• Is the last revisor
• Is the original author
