CatalogItemVariableSet - Scoped

The CatalogItemVariableSet API provides methods that enable you to create and modify service catalog item variable sets using scripts.

This API runs in the sn_sc namespace.

CatalogItemVariableSet - create(Boolean standardUpdate)

Inserts the defined catalog item variable set.

표 1. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
standardUpdate	Boolean	Flag indicating whether to enable the running of engines and workflow. Valid values: true: Enable the running of engines and workflow. false: Do not enable the running of engines and workflow.

표 2. Returns

Type	Description
String	Sys_id of the inserted variable record.

// Given an existing catalog item
var catItemSysId = "e0d08b13c3330100c8b837659bba8fb4";
addVariableSets(catItemSysId);

function addVariableSets(catItemSysId) {
  // List of all variable sets to attach
  var myVarSets = [];

  // Create variable set
  var myVarSetAttrs = {"name": "Requester details", "order": "100"};
  var myVarSet = new sn_sc.CatalogItemVariableSet();
  myVarSet.setAttributes(myVarSetAttrs);
  var myVarSetId = myVarSet.create(true);
  myVarSets.push(myVarSetId);
}

CatalogItemVariableSet - deleteRecord(Boolean standardUpdate)

Deletes a variable set.

표 3. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
standardUpdate	Boolean	Flag that indicates whether to enable the running of engines and workflow. Valid values: true: Enable engines and workflow. false: Do not enable engines and workflow.

표 4. Returns

Type	Description
void

This example removes My Variable Set from all catalog items that use it, and then deletes My Variable Set.

// Get the sys_id of the variable set you want to delete
var vSet = new GlideRecord('item_option_new_set');
vSet.addEncodedQuery('title=My Variable Set'); // find My Variable Set
vSet.query();
if (vSet.next()) {

    // first remove the variable set from all catalog items
    var catItemVset = new GlideRecord('io_set_item'); // M2M table linking variable set and catalog item
    catItemVset.addQuery('variable_set', vSet.getUniqueValue); // find all catalog items using My Variable Set
    catItemVset.query();
    while (catItemVset.next()) {
        var vsetM2M = new sn_sc.CatalogItemVariableSetM2M(catItemVset.getUniqueValue()); // io_set_item M2M record sys_id
        vsetM2M.deleteRecord(true); // delete M2M record
    }

    // then delete the variable set record
    var varset = new sn_sc.CatalogItemVariableSet(vSet.getUniqueValue()); 
    varset.deleteRecord(true);
}

CatalogItemVariableSet - read(Object columns, Boolean standardUpdate)

Returns a mapping of catalog item variable set attribute values.

표 5. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
columns	Object	Specify the set of columns that you would like the values for.
standardUpdate	Boolean	Flag that indicates whether to enable the running of engines and workflow. Valid values: true: Enable engines and workflow. false: Do not enable engines and workflow.

표 6. Returns

Type	Description
Object	An object mapping column names to values.

CatalogItemVariableSet - setAttributes(Object attributes)

Sets attributes for a variable set.

표 7. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
attributes	Object	An object mapping column names to values.

표 8. Returns

Type	Description
void

This example creates a variable set and then adds a variable to the new set.

createVariableSet('My Variable Set', 'This is my test variable set', '100', 'one_to_one');

function createVariableSet(name, description, order, type) {
    var myVarSet = new sn_sc.CatalogItemVariableSet();
    // fields used in object are from table item_option_new_set
    var myVarSetAttrs = {
        "name": name,
        "description": description,
        "order": order,
        "type": type
    }; 
    myVarSet.setAttributes(myVarSetAttrs);
    var myVarSetId = myVarSet.create(true); // returns the sys_id of the created variable set
    gs.info('Variable set created in table item_option_new_set with sys_id ' + myVarSetId);

    // add a variable to the newly created variable set
    var myVar = new sn_sc.CatalogItemVariable();
    var myVarAttrs = {
        "type": "6", // type 6 is single line text
        "variable_set": myVarSetId.toString(), 
        "question_text": "Example question",
        "name": "example_question",
        "order": 200
    };
    myVar.setAttributes(myVarAttrs);
    myVar.create(true);
}

Output:

Variable set created in table item_option_new_set with sys_id e21df65a1bff7c10593876a61a4bcbc4

CatalogItemVariableSet - update(Object columnValues, Boolean standardUpdate)

Updates a variable set.

표 9. Parameters

Name	Type	Description
columnValues	Object	An object mapping column names to values.
standardUpdate	Boolean	Flag that indicates whether to enable the running of engines and workflow. Valid values: true: Enable engines and workflow. false: Do not enable engines and workflow.

표 10. Returns

Type	Description
void

This example updates the description and order for the Standard Employee Questions variable set.

// Get the sys_id of the variable set you want to update
var vSet = new GlideRecord('item_option_new_set');
vSet.addEncodedQuery('title=Standard Employee Questions'); // find the Standard Employee Questions variable set
vSet.query();
if (vSet.next()) {
    var varset = new sn_sc.CatalogItemVariableSet(vSet.getUniqueValue()); 
    var attr = {
        'description': 'This should be used for all end user requests such as phones, tablets, etc. \n My description line',
        'order': '500'
