widget approval script:

Server script:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// only show 30 in header menu dropdown
var max = 30;

var t = data;
t.items = [];
t.count = 0;

var u = getMyApprovals();

// use record watchers to tell header when to update dropdown counts
t.record_watchers = [];
t.record_watchers.push({'table':'sysapproval_approver','filter':'approverIN' + u.toString() + '^state=requested'});

var z = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');
z.addQuery("approver", u);
z.addQuery("state", "requested");
z.orderByDesc('sys_updated_on');
z.setLimit(max);
z.query();

var link = {};
link.title = gs.getMessage('View all approvals');
link.type = 'link';
link.href = '?id=approvals';
link.items = [];
t.items.push(link);

while (z.next()) {
  var a = {};
  var rec = getRecordBeingApproved(z);
    if (!rec.isValidRecord())  // nothing being approved - hmmm
        continue;
    
  a.short_description = rec.short_description + "";
  if (rec.getRecordClassName() == "sc_request") {
    var items = new GlideRecord("sc_req_item");
    items.addQuery("request", rec.getUniqueValue());
    items.query();
    if (items.getRowCount() > 1)
      a.short_description = items.getRowCount() + " requested items";
    else if (items.getRowCount() == 1) {
      items.next();
      a.short_description = items.getValue("short_description");
    }
  }
  $sp.getRecordValues(a, z, 'sys_id,sys_updated_on');
  a.number = rec.getDisplayValue();
  a.__table = z.getRecordClassName();
  a.type = 'approval';
  t.items.push(a);
  t.count++;
}

function getRecordBeingApproved(gr) {
  if (!gr.sysapproval.nil())
    return gr.sysapproval.getRefRecord();

  return gr.document_id.getRefRecord();
}

Karthik, we did this recently. We had to have a separate count of all the items and then use that instead of the max #. The menu we have displays lots of record types and is quite lengthy, so it's difficult to explain in a quick reply here. So I've attached our Request History menu as XML. Hoping it helps.

The variable that counts the total is: 

var totalItemsCount = 0;

Look for that variable used throughout the script. 

This is what it looks like in our service portal.

Hi Susan,

That variable only take integers it doesnt let us add '+' after the number 
if you know how to do that do let us know here.


Thanks,
Yousaf


***Mark Correct or Helpful if it helps.***

We couldn't figure that out either, so we updated the script to display the accurate count.
