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

        <input>

Other sources

• Readonly radiobuttons, copy text in field, build selectbox from service ...
• Handling dependent lookup values (showing all elements etc.)
