How do I print details from a RITM or SCTASK?

[trishlipe]

We need a way to print the ticket Details to get sign off from end users.

When I export to a PDF document the details are not listed (See screenshot below). When I try to right click --> print, the format is not usable. How do I get this information to print on the PDF download?

Hi Trishlipe,

You can print the variables from RITM by creating a UI page, Script Include, and UI action.

Script Include: fetchVariables1, client callable = true

var fetchVariables1 = Class.create();

fetchVariables1.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
itemVariables: function() {
var itemID = this.getParameter('sysparm_item');
var displayValue = '';
var desc = '';
desc += '<table style="width:100%" cellpadding="0" border="1">';
desc += '<tr>';
desc += '</tr>';
var newLineHTML = '';
var variables ='variables.';
var grItem = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');
grItem.get(itemID);
var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_item_option_mtom');
gr.addQuery('request_item',itemID);
gr.orderBy('sc_item_option.order');
gr.query();
var i = 0;
while(gr.next()) {
variables ='variables.';
/* Put all variable values and labels from the variable pool into an array */
/* Only include non-empty variables, and exclude Label and Container variables */
//gr.sc_item_option.value.getDisplayValue() != '' gr.sc_item_option.value.getDisplayValue() != 'false'
if ( gr.sc_item_option.value.getDisplayValue() != 'false' && gr.sc_item_option.item_option_new.active == true && gr.sc_item_option.item_option_new.type != 11 && gr.sc_item_option.item_option_new.type != 19 && gr.sc_item_option.item_option_new.type != 20 && gr.sc_item_option.item_option_new.type != 14 ) {
//desc += j+") "+ v.getGlideObject().getQuestion().getLabel() + ': ' + v.getDisplayValue() + '<br>' ;
if(gr.sc_item_option.item_option_new.question_text == 'Current Annual Base' && i%2==1){
i++;
}
if(gr.sc_item_option.item_option_new.question_text == 'Current Supervisor' ){
//i++;
}
if(i%2==0) {
desc += '<tr>';
}
variables += gr.sc_item_option.item_option_new.name;
displayValue = grItem.getDisplayValue(variables);
if(displayValue==null || displayValue == undefined) {
displayValue = '';
}
if(gr.sc_item_option.item_option_new.question_text == 'Comments') {
newLineHTML += '<table style="width:100%" cellpadding="0" border="1">';
newLineHTML += '<tr><td style="text-align:left;padding:4px;width:20%;background: #80808040;"><span style="text-align:left;font-weight:900;padding:2px" >' + gr.sc_item_option.item_option_new.question_text + '</td><td style="width:80%;padding:4px;"></span><span style="text-align:left;white-space: pre-wrap;"> ' + gr.sc_item_option.value + ' </span></td></tr></table>';
}
else {
desc += '<td style="text-align:left;padding:4px;width:20%;background: #80808040;"><span style="text-align:left;font-weight:900;padding:2px" >' + gr.sc_item_option.item_option_new.question_text + '</td><td style="width:30%"></span><span style="text-align:left;white-space: pre-wrap;"> ' + displayValue + ' </span></td>';
}
if(i%2 == 1) {
desc += '</tr>';
}
i++;
}
}
desc += '</table>';
desc += newLineHTML;
},
type: 'fetchVariables1'
});

UI PAge: item_variables

HTML: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<link href="kb_styles.cssx" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div id ="html_content" style="display: none;">
$[sysparm_item]
</div>
<div id='printClass'>
<div id="commentsdiv" style="display: block;">
<h4 style="font-weight: bold;">Status Change Form for: $[sysparm_number]</h4>
<!--<table>
<span><label for="comments">$[sysparm_item]</label></span>
</table> -->


<div id="variable_data"></div>
</div>
</div>
<input type='button' id='btn' value='Print' onclick='printPage();'></input>
</j:jelly>

Client Script: 

var ga = new GlideAjax('fetchVariables1') ;
ga.addParam('sysparm_name','itemVariables');
ga.addParam('sysparm_item',document.getElementById('html_content').innerHTML);
ga.getXMLWait();
var val = ga.getAnswer();
//alert(val);
document.getElementById('variable_data').innerHTML = val;

function printPage()
{

var divToPrint=document.getElementById('printClass');

var newWin=window.open('','Print-Window');

newWin.document.open();

newWin.document.write('<html><body onload="window.print()">'+divToPrint.innerHTML+'</body></html>');

newWin.document.close();

setTimeout(function(){newWin.close();},10);

}

UI Action: Print Form, Table: Requested Item Onclick: printVariables()

function printVariables(){ //Client Side function

var sysid = g_form.getUniqueValue();

var gdw = new GlideModal('item_variables');
gdw.setTitle('Variables');
gdw.setWidth(1200);
gdw.setPreference('sysparm_number', g_form.getValue('number'));
gdw.setPreference('sysparm_item', g_form.getUniqueValue());
gdw.render();
}

Thank you for this information. I have a meeting with our ServiceNow Admin on Thursday. I will work with him on this and will let you know if we have any additional questions.

Hey Jag,

I tried the code above because I am working on a task that requires me to print the Variables of an RITM.

Your code prints a blank page with a header "Status change for: *RITM*"

Can you please look at your code again and see if you can modify it to make it work? That would really be helpful!

Thanks!

Hi Raza,

The code seems to work fine from my end with no issues. Could you please post your code here. I can verify it.

Best,

Jag.
