Run an encoded query on a current glide record object

[Toren]

Hi All!

It is way too long a story to explain why I need this, but I am looking for a function or something that can run and encoded query against a retrieved gliderecord object to see if it meets the criteria of the the encoded query.

Doing this in a widget in service portal.

I hope I am explaining that well if not here is code to try to help explain what I need:

var gr = new GlideRecord("table_name");

gr.get("342sysid54325");

var boolean = gr.EncodedQueryFunctionThatINeed("active=true^short_description=hellothere^name=yo"); // <---- THE FUNCTION I NEED

if (boolean) {

console.log("The Record is Active, has a short description of hellothere and is named yo");

} else {

console.log("The Record is either not Active, does not have a short description of hellothere  or is  not named yo");

}

Can you explain bit more on this? I am trying to do same for catalogs but unable to get current records encoded query in a client script... Appreciate your help.

Sure! This is a simplish coded example of what i did

//This is the sys id of the record I want to check

var sysID = '1234567';

//Glide record for the table that the record resides on

var gr = new GlideRecord("table_name");

//Add the sys id to the encoded query that I wanted to check against the record

gr.addEncodedQuery("sys_id="+ sysID +"active=true^short_description=hellothere^name=yo");

//Query the table

gr.query();

/*If the glide record finds a record then it is the record that has the SYS ID and matches the encoded query. Thus the record matches the encoded query*/

if (gr.next()) {

console.log("The record with sys id 1234567 matches the encoded query of active=true^short_description=hellothere^name=yo");

}

Hope that helps!
