This example shows how to obtain the current encoded query to use later to create a read ACL role.

function createAcl(table, role) { gs.print("Checking security on table " + table); var now_GR = new GlideRecord("sys_security_acl"); now_GR.addQuery("name", table); now_GR.addQuery("operation", "read"); now_GR.query(); var encQuery = now_GR.getEncodedQuery(); if (now_GR.next()) { // existing acl found so use it createAclRole(now_GR.sys_id.toString(), role); return; } else { now_GR.initialize(); now_GR.applyEncodedQuery(encQuery); var acl = now_GR.insert(); gs.print(" Added read access control on " + table); createAclRole(acl, role); }
}

Haven't tested these all recently within global/local scopes, so feel free to have a play! option 1 use an encoded query embedded in the GlideRecord , e.g. var grProf = new GlideRecord ( 'x_cls_clear_skye_i_profile' ); grProf . addQuery ( 'status=1^ owner=NULL ' ); grProf . query (); even better use the glideRecord addNotNullQuery or addNullQuery option 2 JSUtil.nil / notNil (this might be the most powerful. See this link ) example: if ( current . operation () == 'insert' && JSUtil . notNil ( current . parent ) && ! current . work_effort . nil ()) option 3 there might be times when you need to get inside the GlideRecord and perform the check there, for example if the code goes down 2 optional routes depending on null / not null can use gs.nil : var grAppr = new GlideRecord ( 'sysapproval_approver' ); var grUser = new GlideRecord ( 'sys_user' ); if ( grUser . get ( 'sys_id' , current . approver )){

Classic UI : var sURL_editparam = gs . action . getGlideURI (). getMap (). get ( ' sysparm_aparameter ' ); if ( sURL_editparam == 'true' ) { gs . addInfoMessage ( 'parameter passed ); } Portal : var sURL_editparam = $sp . getParameter ( " sysparm_aparameter " ); if ( sURL_editparam == 'true' ) { gs . addInfoMessage ( 'parameter passed ); }
