Hi Manasa,

You can call the script include using GlideAjax in your UI action code.

Hi,

There are two things here based on your requirement.

Script include can be called in UI Action using both Client and Server types.

1) If you want to call a Script Include in Server side of UI Action you can use below syntax:

new ScriptIncludeName().FuctionName(parameter if any);

2) Looking at your screenshot looks like you have created a Client callable Script Include so you need to sue below syntax:

 var ga = new GlideAjax('asu_GetLocationData');

      ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getCampus');

      ga.addParam('sysparm_buildingid', g_form.getValue("u_building"));

      ga.getXML(updateCampus);

}

     

function updateCampus(response) {

      var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
alert(answer);

}

Hope this helps. Please mark the answer as correct/helpful based on impact.

1) Make sure to define a Action Name and check the Client Check box

2) Define on On click function as shown below

3) Sample code shared below on how to call a Script Include in your UI Action in both Client and Server side section in the same UI Script:

Hi @Manasa23

First things first, make sure you check the 'Client callable' box on the Script Include form, which will automatically format your code to be client callable (as shown below):

Once that's done, you can call the Script Include on the UI Action with the following code:

new ScriptIncludeName().FunctionName();

To see what that looks like in the actual UI Action Condition field, see the image below:

And that's it! If you are having trouble with the Script Include/GlideAjax portion, then Shawn Dowler's GlideAjax cheat sheet will help you out.

Please mark Correct or Helpful if my response helped you.
