How to change 'My approval' fields for Change management module

[mdsannavulla]

Hi All,

For change management module we are using OOTB UI macro 'approval_summarizer_default' for showing fields in My approvals.

Now I want to add some more fields to that My approvals for that where I have to change in UI macro?

Below is the OOTB code for that

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="true" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

  <g:evaluate var="jvar_has_source" >

      var flag = !${ref}.sysapproval.nil() || !${ref}.source_table.nil();

      flag;

  </g:evaluate>

  <j:if test="${jvar_has_source}">

      <g:evaluate var="jvar_ni" expression="

      var gr = null;

              if ( !${ref}.source_table.nil()) {

                    gr = new GlideRecord(${ref}.source_table);

                                      gr.get( ${ref}.document_id);

                              } else {

                                      gr = new GlideRecord('task');

                                      gr.get(${ref}.sysapproval);

                              }

              " />

      <g:evaluate>

              g_approval_form_request = true; // this global is checked in ACLs

      </g:evaluate>

      <g:evaluate var="jvar_my_form">

              var gc =   new GlideController();

              var p =   new GlidePopup(gc, "${gr.sys_class_name}");

              p.putParameter("sys_id", "${gr.sys_id}");

              p.putParameter("sysparm_view", "approval");

              var rp = p.getRenderProperties();

              rp.setSmallCaption(true);

              var s = p.getPopup();

              s;

      </g:evaluate>

      <tr id="approval_summary_row">

              <td width="100%" colspan="2">

                      <j2:if test="${gs.getProperty('glide.security.use_csrf_token')}" >

  <input type="HIDDEN" name="sysparm_ck" value="$[gs.getSessionToken()]"/>

        </j2:if>

                      <div id="approval_summary" style="padding-top:8px;display:none;">

                <div class="caption" style="padding:4px;">${gs.getMessage('Summary of Item being approved')}</div>

                <div style="padding-left:2px;"><g:no_escape>${jvar_my_form}</g:no_escape></div>

                      </div>

  </td>

      </tr>

      <g:evaluate>

              delete g_approval_form_request; // removes the global

      </g:evaluate>

      <script>

              addRenderEvent(moveSummaryForm);

              function moveSummaryForm() {

                      var e = $("approval_summary");

                      var form = $("sysapproval_approver.do");

                      var formParent = form.parentNode;

                      formParent.appendChild(e);

                      e.show();

              }

      </script>

  </j:if>

</j:jelly>

Here I want to add and remove some fields.For that where I have to change in that UI macro

Hi All,

Any idea on this?

[Brad Tilton]

The view just determines what fields you see when you look at the record, so an approval wouldn't necessarily be tied to a specific view. You would need to determine which view you want to show in the macro (probably using some attribute on the record or from the logged in user), and then call either one of your change views based on that.

Hi Brad,

I want to call both the views in that ui macro based on the option selected by the user.How can I write that condition in UI macro?

[Brad Tilton · Accepted solution]

You can use an if statement in the g:evaluate block where the p.putParameter("sysparm_view", "approval"); line is. Just use the gr object to check the user selected value on the change request and pass in the view name for approval.

Excellent idea it is working
