Hi All,
I created two knowledge bases in my environment 1 is KEDB and 2nd is IKDB(incident knowledge database). each knowledge as a different field so thats why i created UI policys .. its ok for me in form level..
issue with
whenever i published KEDB articles ,,KEDB field is visible and same time IKDB field is visible,,,,here we are using UI macros.. So, here how to create if condition in macros.
For example: If Knowledge base = KEDB selects visible only KEDb fields
{
else knowledge base =IKDB visible only for IKDB fields
}
Please find the below script how to write IF Else condition ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<j:choose>
<j:when test="${knowledgeRecord.article_type != 'wiki'}">
<div id="article" class="snc-article-content-text">

The general syntax of the if statement is like this:
<j:if test="condition" >
<!-- this code gets run -->
</j:if>
In your case, the condition is going to be something like:
<j:if test="${kb_knowledge.kb_knowledge_base.getDisplayValue() == 'KEDB'">
<!-- Show the three fields -->
</j:if>
<j:if test="${kb_knowledge.kb_knowledge_base.getDisplayValue() == 'IKDB'">
<!-- Show the other three fields -->
</j:if>
THIS IS UNTESTED CODE. YOU NEED TO TEST AND ADJUST AS NECESSARY FOR YOUR CONDITIONS.

Hi Abhinav,,
As you aware the above code for knowledge base,
I need small help again,
I rejected approvals in knowledge article, the rejected article also is visible in end users in self service.
I need to control only visible approvals articles.
Please suggest me where i need change the above code.
Regards,
Naresh

What happens when an article is approved or rejected? Does the Workflow field on the form change its state? I want something on the knowledge form so that I can write conditions based on that.
