JavaScript functions v1.0
Builtin functions
Handling form values
Display values are handled using standard getter and setters
- getValue(fieldName)
- setValue(fieldName,value)
Example
var a = getValue("NUMBER1");
var b = getValue("NUMBER2");
setValue( "RESULT", (a-b) );
For explicitly getting a value (or ID) use
- getDecimal(fieldName)
Example
var recordId = getDecimal("SELECTRECORD");
Toggling fields (version 5478+)
Note: Hide functions are NOT intended for denying access to data -it will only be hidden in the frontend, but is still accessible to savvy users.
Fields can be shown or hidden calling the fieldname
- hideField(fieldName)
- showField(fieldName)
Examples
hideField("USER");
hideField("StatusID");
Dependent toggling
Hiding and showing fields can be made dependent on classes in the TempusServaPage
- hideFieldForPageClass(fieldName,className)
- showFieldForPageClass(fieldName,className)
Hiding and showing fields can be made dependent on items current status.
- hideFieldForStatusId(fieldName,statusId)
- showFieldForStatusId(fieldName,statusId)
Hiding and showing fields can be made dependent on classes in the TempusServaPage AND items current status.
- hideFieldForPageClassAndStatusId(fieldName,className,statusId)
- showFieldForPageClassAndStatusId(fieldName,className,statusId)
In case of advanced setup consider "hide for all first and show for some later". In this example NAME should only be displayed for a few status
hideField("NAME");
showFieldForStatusId("NAME",1234);
showFieldForStatusId("NAME",1235);
Disclaimer
The functions are the equivilant of JQuery
$("#VB_DATA_"+fieldName).parent().parent().hide();
$("#VB_DATA_"+fieldName).parent().parent().hide();
This means that fields are expected to be wrapped in TWO layers of html tags for the functions to work
Control variables
TS uses a number of special variables to control the behavior of the frontend. These variables can be changed anywhere.
hideTableRowsForElements
Default is true. Set to false if template structure is only in a single level.
- true: Hide two levels
- false: Hide one level
Example of 2 level template (default)
<input ..
Example of 1 level template (special cases)
