Hello,
I want the "Approvals" menu item to be shown at all times, and I want the approval count to be visible when approval is requested. The OOB menu item code is shown below.
// only show 30 in header menu dropdown
var max = 30;
var t = data;
t.items = [];
t.count = 0;
var u = getMyApprovals();
// use record watchers to tell header when to update dropdown counts
t.record_watchers = [];
t.record_watchers.push({'table':'sysapproval_approver','filter':'approverIN' + u.toString() + '^state=requested'});
var z = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');
z.addQuery("approver", u);
//z.addQuery("state", "requested");
z.orderByDesc('sys_updated_on');
z.setLimit(max);
z.query();
var link = {};
link.title = gs.getMessage('View all approvals');
link.type = 'link';
link.href = '?id=approvals';
link.items = [];
t.items.push(link);
while (z.next()) {
var a = {};
var rec = getRecordBeingApproved(z);
if (!rec.isValidRecord()) // nothing being approved - hmmm
continue;
a.short_description = rec.short_description + "";
if (rec.getRecordClassName() == "sc_request") {
var items = new GlideRecord("sc_req_item");
items.addQuery("request", rec.getUniqueValue());
items.query();
if (items.getRowCount() > 1)
a.short_description = items.getRowCount() + " requested items";
else if (items.getRowCount() == 1) {
items.next();
a.short_description = items.getValue("short_description");
}
}
$sp.getRecordValues(a, z, 'sys_id,sys_updated_on');
a.number = rec.getDisplayValue();
a.__table = z.getRecordClassName();
a.type = 'approval';
t.items.push(a);
t.count++;
}
function getRecordBeingApproved(gr) {
if (!gr.sysapproval.nil())
return gr.sysapproval.getRefRecord();
return gr.document_id.getRefRecord();
}
