Scripting Alert, Info, and Error Messages

[svizcaino]

Hi!

i was wondering if someone can help me to understand better what is the difference between gs.addMessage and gs.alert??

I want to use the gs.addMessage for the users, and the gs.alert for the admins.

Can i get a simply example to better understanding?

Thanks and Regards!

Hi Sergio,

gs.addInfoMessage(') will display a banner at the top of the content frame displaying your message.

alert('Hello World') will make a new window pop up with your message.

Hi Sergio,

gs.addMessage - would be running when record is saved. Considering a business rule that creates an project from demand to add the display the number of project created. It is server side.

alert - would run before form is saved. It is client side.

Link http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=Scripting_Alert,_Info,_and_Error_Messages#gsc.tab=0   explains it best.

Hi Sergio

Gs.addinfomessage will add a information message on top of the screen and it is used in server side scripting. Alert cannot be used on server side. it is used on the client side only.
