AJAX call example 1a: return multiple values

 alternative approach to returning multi values on Ajax call


client script

try{ if (newValue == '') { return; } var ga = new GlideAjax('UserClientScriptUtil'); ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getUserDetails'); ga.addParam('sysparm_user_sysid', g_form.getValue('Requested_for')); ga.getXML(function processdata(response) { var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer"); if (answer) { answer = JSON.parse(answer); g_form.setValue('Email_Address',answer.displayEmail); g_form.setValue('phone_number', answer.phone); g_form.setValue('department_details', answer.department); g_form.setValue('line_manager', answer.manager); g_form.setValue('location_details', answer.location); g_form.setValue('cost_center', answer.costCenter); } }); } catch(err) { alert('Error in client script: Get User Details\nError name: ' + err.name + '\nError message: ' + err.message); }



AJAX:

var UserClientScriptUtil = Class.create(); UserClientScriptUtil.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, { getUserDetails: function() { var caller = this.getParameter('sysparm_user_sysid'); var returnUserObj = {}; // Declaring an object var userRec = new GlideRecord('sys_user'); userRec.addQuery('sys_id',caller); userRec.query(); //Record found if (userRec.next()){ //name returnUserObj.name = userRec.getValue('name'); returnUserObj.firstName = userRec.getValue('first_name'); returnUserObj.lastName = userRec.getValue('last_name'); //email returnUserObj.email = userRec.getValue('email'); // Adding properties returnUserObj.displayEmail = userRec.getDisplayValue('email'); //phone returnUserObj.phone = userRec.getValue('phone'); // Adding properties returnUserObj.displayPhone = userRec.getDisplayValue('phone'); //Department returnUserObj.department = userRec.getValue('department'); returnUserObj.displayDepartment = userRec.getDisplayValue('department'); //Cost Center returnUserObj.costCenter = userRec.getValue('cost_center'); returnUserObj.displayCostCenter = userRec.getDisplayValue('cost_center'); //Manager returnUserObj.manager = userRec.getValue('manager'); returnUserObj.displayManager= userRec.getDisplayValue('manager'); //Location returnUserObj.location = userRec.getValue('location'); returnUserObj.displayLocation = userRec.getDisplayValue('location'); //VIP Flag returnUserObj.vip = userRec.getValue('vip'); return (JSON.stringify(returnUserObj)); } else return; }, type: 'UserClientScriptUtil' });

GlideRecord setValue

setValue(String name, Object value) Sets the specified field to the specified value. Normally a script would do a direct assignment, for example,  gr.category = value . However, if in a script the element name is a variable, then  gr.setValue(elementName, value)  can be used. When setting a value, ensure the data type of the field matches the data type of the value you enter. This method cannot be used on journal fields. If the value parameter is null, the record is not updated, and an error is not thrown https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_GlideRecord-setValue_String_Object
