action :String

Indicating how interactions with this action should process.

Specific actions that are available:

  • link or newlink go to a URL. newlink doing so in a new window or tab
  • form-modal opens a modal on the page with a form view. Every key's value is filled in for the object passed to the modal. This action also uses several specific extra key values; table, sys_id, and view to specify the form to open. These values are template completed before being invoked.
  • ajax-call makes an AJAX call similar to a GlideAjax call. This action also fills out the key values for all keys on the object and then passes each key as a parameter in the AJAX call. The tbl_class is used to initialize the SPGlideAjax instance and tbl_method is specifically added as the "sysparm_name" parameter of the AJAX call. Both keys can also be specified specifically as a key:value pair on the row's data that can be completed for a more dynamic AJAX call. Additionally, a tbl_complete key is used for a switch case that can be either redirect or newwindow and will use the new_url key to open or redirect once a response is received. However, as a note, deeply nested data will NOT get replacements.
