JavaScript in BPS

WEBCON BPS Designer Studio has the option to switch the Form rules editor into a JavaScript expression editor mode, which makes creating dynamic scripts much easier with the provided JavaScript API.

JavaScript in WEBCON BPS is used to change form field values, manage their visibility, and provide additional validation conditions. Scripts are run as a response to the defined user behavior in Portal, e.g. when changing the value of a form field, loading a page or as a form of additional validation when selecting a path. The user can enter scripts manually or use the panel of available scripts which are grouped into logical sets that correspond to a specific functionality.

Configuration​

JavaScript Editor

1. Form rule edit mode​

Option to switch between the two rule edit modes. If JavaScript mode is set, all Dictionary elements will be displayed in JavaScript format when selected.

2. Expression edit area​

Area for entering a JavaScript expression.

3. Dictionary of elements for building a script​

This panel contains a library of available functions that can be utilized in a script.
An attempt is made to interpret the script.

4. Show​

After clicking on this button, a window appears with an preview of the expression entered. If errors occur, the script will not be displayed.

5. Create universal rule​

The option is available from the application level. Selecting this option and saving the newly-created rule as a process rule will make it available in the selected process.

6. Switch all editors into advanced mode​

Marking the checkbox will display additional columns containing the Variable and Database field that the given function uses.
