Hi Experts,

Requirement is  email validation .That should any email addresses noted in the "Email addresses" field when scheduling a report to be sent must end in company.com or servicenow.com.

"Email address" field is not a catalog variable. It is a field in the "Scheduled report" table.

any number of email address we can give in that field with separating by comma, all email addresses should get validate . and it is not only for any particular report to schedule. It should be for all.

Hey @CHAITHANYA ,

It is fixed now. I tested it in my PDI

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }
    try {
        var emailsArray = [];
        var invalidEmails = []
		var validEmails = [];
        emailsArray = newValue.toString().split(',');

        for (var i = 0; i < emailsArray.length; i++) {
            if ((emailsArray[i].toString().endsWith("@company.com")) || (emailsArray[i].toString().endsWith("@servicenow.com"))) 
			{
                validEmails.push(emailsArray[i]);
            } else 
			{
                invalidEmails.push(emailsArray[i]);
            }
        }
		var validEmailsString = validEmails.join(',');
		var invalidEmailsString = invalidEmails.join(',');
        g_form.setValue('address_list', validEmailsString);
		g_form.addErrorMessage("Invalid Emails Removed : " + invalidEmailsString);

    } catch (e) {}
}

Previously it didn't work due to recursive call and now its fixed with above script via try catch block.

 

Mark as correct and helpful if it solved your query.

Hi @SUMANTH DOSAPATI 

for this condition, it is not taking company or servicenow address. 

after alert it is clearing the field.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
      return;
   }

  
var emailsArray = [];
emailsArray = newValue.toString().split(',');
for(var i=0; i<emailsArray.length;i++)
{
 if((!emailsArray[i].toString().endsWith("@company.com")) ||(!emailsArray[i].toString().endsWith("@servicenow.com")) )
  {
    
alert('invalid');
g_form.clearValue('address_list');
    emailsArray.splice(i);
  }
}
}



Thanks.

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 

Yes I have tried that one as well, the same thing is happening.
And If I give any address like gmail.com or yahoo.com also after clicking ok on alert message. It is allowing to save the form. If I give company.com also happening the same thing
Irrespective of the addresses it is showing alert message after that it is allowing to save the form.

Thanks.

you can use error to show near the field as field message

So in this way user cannot submit form

Your final code should look like below.

Now it will remove the invalid emails from the list aswell.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
      return;
   }

  
var emailsArray = [];
emailsArray = newValue.toString().split(',');
for(var i=0; i<emailsArray.length;i++)
{
 if((!emailsArray[i].toString().endsWith("@company.com")) ||(!emailsArray[i].toString().endsWith("@servicenow.com")) )
  {   
    emailsArray.splice(i);
  }
}
var updatedEmails = emailsArray.join(',');
g_form.setValue('address_list', updatedEmails);
}
