Download attachment from the UI action

[Nag9]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to create a link in ritm form to download a file. When the user clicks on the link, it should download a file, and the form should stay on the same page.

For this, I created a UI action for the ritm table with the below code.

onclick -confirmDownload()

script:

function confirmDownload() 

var URL = 'nav_to.do?uri=sys_attachment.do?sys_id=aec12b1b970321100408bde3f153affb';

var down = confirm("Do you want to download the file?');

     alert(down);

if (down) 

g_navigation.openPopup(URL);

action.setRedirectURL(url);

    }

}

It's working as expected, but the issue is that it's redirecting to some other page. If you remove the if condition, the file will not be downloaded when the user clicks on the UI action.

On clicking on the UI action, a file should be downloaded with specific fields data as in excel format(like export excel) and it should stay on the same page.

Anyone help me on this?

@asifnoor - can you look this thread once

@Nag9 

are you saying on click of that Button the fields/variable data should be pushed to excel/csv file and that file should get downloaded?

Ok ankur,

Let me try the script. Can i use the same script on ui action?

[Nag9]

tried with business rule, its working as per your script in global application.

Here I need this functionality in ui action. where as I have some specific fields to get the values from the form. upon clicks on ui action excel should downloaded with relevant information

UI action should works on scoped application.
