How to use User Criteria as a condition in a script

[rlatorre]

We would like to test against User Criteria definitions in the condition of a business rule, UI action, client script, etc.

Is there a way to script to test against User Criteria definitions and return true or false?

Hi Robert,

There is a class/method to use to tell you which criteria apply. I have not yet figured out a way to evaluate each of those. Do some experimenting - i'm curious to know more.

SNC.UserCriteriaLoader.getAllUserCriteria()

Returns an array of sys_ids of the user criteria available to you. (applies to user's current login session.)

I knew I could count on you Chuck.

With this I would create a script include that would return the sys_id of a User Criteria record that I want to test against. Then see if that sys_id is contained in the array returned by SNC.UserCriteriaLoader.getAllUserCriteria().

Like:

SNC.UserCriteriaLoader.getAllUserCriteria().indexOf(getUserCriteraFromName("Users at Corporate Locations")) > -1

I had one more question on this and I hope you can help me. Below will allow me to script against if the logged in user meets a certain User Criteria but what if I want to see if a user is a reference field meets the criteria?

SNC.UserCriteriaLoader.getAllUserCriteria().indexOf(getUserCritera_name("Users at Corporate Locations")) > -1

getUserCritera_name("Users at Corporate Locations") returns the sys_id of the User Criteria record

Hi Robert,

I'm not clear what your objective is. Can you clarify this?
