Confirmation box on ui action on list view

[Tarasingh26]

Hi All, I have requirement to show pop up message when user clicks on UI action. Confirmation box is working fine on form view. On list view it is not working. Can someone please let me know the code or solutions to populate confirmation pop on list view when user clicks on UI action? Thanks in advance.

Hi @Tarasingh26 

Could you please share what code you written and what it is doing to help you.

Hi @Tarasingh26 ,

you could use the GlideModal client api on your ui action client script to open a ui page as a modal which contains an ok and a cancel button.
By clicking cancel, the modal vanishes. By clicking ok, the processing script of the ui page is executed. The processing script should also contain some type of redirect. This should work on form and list view.

Ui action code

function openConfirmModal() {
    var modal = new GlideModal('my_confirm_modal');
    modal.setTitle('Confirmation');
    modal.render();
}

UI page html code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

	<g:ui_form>
     	<p>Do you want to confirm?</p>
    	<g:dialog_buttons_ok_cancel ok="return true" />
 	</g:ui_form>

</j:jelly>

In the processing script of the ui action you could have something like this for the redirect:

response.sendRedirect(gs.getUrlOnStack());

 Example for List ui action on incident table

I hope this helps!

In the example the name of the ui page is "my_confirm_modal" and everything is in the global scope. In a scoped app the scope prefix has to be added to the name of the ui page, when calling GlideModal.

Maybe also have a look at @Mark Stanger s Code:

I have a feeling that this might be enough for your Use Case.
