Role required: business_rule_admin (for business rule), ui_action_admin (for UI action), or admin
About this task
Closing an incident from Actions list adds the same close note to all the incidents that are closed and does not require the list_updater role. Implementing this process requires a script include that is referred from a UI action and a custom UI page.
Procedure
- Navigate to All > System Definition > Script Includes and click New.
-
Create the script includes with the following information.
- Name: IncidentClosure
- Client callable: Select the check box
- Active: Select the check box
- Script: Paste the following information:
var IncidentClosure = Class.create(); IncidentClosure.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, { closeIncidents: function() { var selectedIncidents = this.getParameter("sysparm_incidents"); var notes = this.getParameter("sysparm_closeNote"); var code = this.getParameter("sysparm_closeCode"); var incidentGr = new GlideRecord('incident'); incidentGr.addQuery('sys_id', 'IN', selectedIncidents); incidentGr.query(); while (incidentGr.next()) { incidentGr.setValue('state', 7); incidentGr.setValue('close_notes', notes); incidentGr.setValue('close_code', code); incidentGr.update(); } return true; }, type: 'IncidentClosure' });
- Save the record.
-
Create the following steps to create a UI page.
- Name: mandatory_fields_to_close_incident_ui
- HTML: Paste the following
information:
