Hi Team,

When we select a group in group field in incident page, assignee of that particular group are shown. Can you please provide the javascript code behind this functionality i.e. to fetch the list of assignee that falls under a particular group.

Thanks & Regards,

Balram Singh Deswal

Hi, could you tell what are you trying to achieve? Do you wan't to duplicate this functionality on some custom fields?

Hi Gutis,

Yes I want to duplicate this functionality on custom fields in Detail_in.htmpl and Detail_cr.htmpl. For example, if I select a value in Custom Field 1, Custom Field 2 got populated with the values that are associated with value selected in Custom Field 1. Here Custom Field 1 may be "Department" and Custom Field 2 may be the "Employees" that belong to the "Department" selected. How we can achieve this functionality?

Thanks

I found similar article in our company KB it seems that our guys made similar customization for sd12.9 I hope that this will work for 12.7 also.

Solution was designed for slightly different functionality, but I will try to port it to your requirements.

Let say in incident you have zlocation field SREL to loc (location) and you wan't to filter requester on location selected in this field.

You will need to make modifications in detail_in.htmpl, function popup_search and function generate_url

1. you need to modify detail_in.htmpl

By adding location field and javascript after that field

<PDM_MACRO name=dtlLookup hdr="Location" attr="zlocation">
function survey(field, callback) {
   var input = jq(field);
   var oldvalue = input.val();
   setInterval(function(){
      if (input.val()!=oldvalue){
          oldvalue = input.val();
          callback();
      }
   }, 100);
}
jq(function(){
    var field = jq('input[name="KEY.zlocation"]').parent().find('input[name="SET.zlocation"]');
    if(field.length != 0){
        survey(field, function(){
            if(jq('input[name="KEY.zlocation"]').parent().find('input[name="SET.zlocation"]').val() == ''){
                jq('input[name="KEY.requested_by"]').parent().find('input[name="SET.requested_by"]').val('');
                jq('input[name="requested_by_combo_name"]').val('');
            }
        });
    }
});

2. If at site\mods\www\wwwroot\scripts you don't have sitemods.js you should create it and copy popup_search function from popup.js to sitemods.js. You should add following lines on the very beginning of the copied script:

if ( backfill_field == "requested_by" )
{
    if (typeof jq('input[name="KEY.zlocation"]').parent().find('[name="SET.zlocation"]') == "object" && jq('input[name="KEY.zlocation"]').parent().find('[name="SET.zlocation"]').val() != ""){
        extra += "+ADDITIONAL_WHERE=(location =  U'" + jq('input[name="KEY.zlocation"]').parent().find('[name="SET.zlocation"]').val() + "' )"; 
    }
}

3. Copy autosuggest.js to site\mods\www\wwwroot\scripts at the very end of generate_url function just before

return url_str;

insert the following modification:

if ( autosuggest_arr[element_id].backfill_field == "requested_by" )
{
    if (typeof jq('input[name="KEY.zlocation"]').parent().find('[name="SET.zlocation"]') == "object" && jq('input[name="KEY.zlocation"]').parent().find('[name="SET.zlocation"]').val() != ""){
        url_str += "+ADDITIONAL_WHERE=(location =  U'" + jq('input[name="KEY.zlocation"]').parent().find('[name="SET.zlocation"]').val() + "' )";   
    }
}

4. Clear server and browser cache.

Hi Gutis,

Thanks a lot for the solution. I tried to implement this solution and currently facing the following problems:

• I am unable to add the condition specified in point 2 in sitemod.js. It may be because jq is defined in detail_in.htmpl. So I added the function popup_search in detail_in.htmpl and added the condition you specified on the very beginning of the copied script.
• After following all the points, when I previewed I am facing the following error when I select click Requester after filling the Location field.

Kindly provide a solution for this issue.

Thanks & Regards,

Balram Singh Deswal

Please provide error that you get when you try to implement step 2 in sotemods.js

Sent from my iPhone

Also please specify which CA SDM version do you use.

I am using the CA SDM version 12.9. When I try to add the function popup_search in sitemod.js, and add the condition in the beginning, the function gets commented automatically. Don't know why. Because the same set of thing I performed for autosuggest.js, it was working fine.

Which editor do you use to make modifications. I suggest you to use notepad++ to make customization

You can also attach your sitemods.js and autosuggest.js files. And i wil check where is the problem.

I am using the editor which is provided by the Web Screen Painter. Actually, when I add the condition in sitemod.js in notepad++, it doesn't comment out the function. But when I paste that in the editor of the Web Screen Painter, the function gets commented. It remains commented till I edit the condition upto a specific point. Kindly refer to the attached screenshots for more clarity.

//    This file is provided to allow a customer site to add its own

//    JavaScript functions to the AHD web interface.  It is included in

//    all AHD web pages as the last JavaScript include, and so can be

//    used to provide site-written versions of standard functions.

//

//    In addition to new functions, this file can be used to provide

//    site versions of the menubar customization functions.  This

//    allows customization of the menubar without modifying menubar.js.

//    The menubar customization functions are:

//

//    siteMenuMod()     - called once for each menubar item

//    siteMenuAdd()     - called once at the end of the menubar

//    siteMenuitemMod() - called once for each menu item

//    siteMenuitemAdd() - called once at the end of each menubar item

//

//    siteContextMenuitemMod() - called once for each context menu item

//    siteContextMenuitemAdd() - called once at the end of each context menu

//

//    These functions can add, delete, and rename items in the menu.

//    See comments on the functions themselves for usage.

They are not commented it is just some issue with pattern recognition of the editor. So just perform all the modifications and they should work fine. Personally I prefer notepad++ to do all forms and scripts modifications. In this case I can edit those files directly in site/mods and then use the run menu command to clear server cache by issuing pdm_webcache command.

P.S.

Please use advanced editor when writing replay to attach files to it.

Hi Gutis,

I'm trying to do a similar thing, but in my case a need to do a "dot walking" to get the location country.

my additional where should be something like:

country = zlocation.country.id

Any idea how to do this?

Thank you in advance
