This server class contains methods to operate the database records.

SimpleRecord(tableName)


This method instantiates a SimpleRecord class object for a particular table.


Parameter(s):

NameTypeMandatoryDefault Value
tableNameStringYN

Example:

Code Block
languagejs
themeEclipse
titleSimpleRecord
linenumberstrue
const taskRecord = new SimpleRecord('task');


REM attribute object


The SimpleRecord class has a special object for Record Extended Modelsrem_attr that contains information about the REM attributes. Use it to read and edit REM attribute values of the current record with the methods as shown below.

Tip

rem_attr has a number of methods similar to the methods of the SimpleRecord: 

Example:

record.rem_attr.getValue('my_rem_attribute');

Example:

Code Block
languagejs
themeEclipse
titleget() using REM
linenumberstrue
const record = new SimpleRecord('task');
record.get('160638931615274614');
if (record.getReModelId()) {
    ss.info(record.rem_attr.description);
}

addOrCondition(property, operator, value)


This method adds the OR condition to an existing query. It works in conjunction with the addQuery() method. In this method, you can use any necessary operator from the condition operators list, specified in lower- or uppercase. Use the system names of the operators in the scripts.

You can also specify a RE model attribute of a specific table. To filter records, use the operators corresponding to the attribute type.

Note

The condition may contain criteria based on the attribute of different RE models. If such criteria are built using the AND operator, the selection of records will be empty. To return records that match a condition, use the OR operator.

Parameter(s):

NameTypeMandatoryDefault Value
propertyStringY

N

Info

For the REM attributes use the following pattern:

'<sys_id>:<attr_name>' 

where sys_id – the ID of the model that contain the attribute, and attr_name – the system name of the REM attribute.


operatorString (refer to the Condition Operators article for more information)N=
valueInteger or String or Boolean or Array or SimpleRecord objectYN


Return:

TypeDescription
SimpleRecordThe instance, where the method was called.


Examples:

Code Block
languagejs
themeEclipse
titleaddOrCondition()
linenumberstrue
const record = new SimpleRecord('task');
record.addQuery('subject', 'like', 'not work')
record.addOrCondition('description', 'like', 'not work');
ss.info('Condition query: ' + record.getConditionQuery());
record.query();
// Info: Condition query: (subjectLIKEnot work)^OR(descriptionLIKEnot work)


Code Block
languagejs
themeEclipse
titleaddOrCondition() with a REM attribute
linenumberstrue
let record = new SimpleRecord('task');
record.addQuery('subject', 'like', 'not work')
record.addOrCondition('166972638116358001:description', 'contains', 'not work');
ss.info('Condition query: ' + record.getConditionQuery());
record.query();
// Info: Condition query: (subjectLIKEnot work)^OR(166972638116358001:descriptionLIKEnot work)


Info

It is possible to pass the Reference field value as current.{reference_field_name} instead of the record ID as the addOrCondition() method value. The script example:

Code Block
languagejs
themeEclipse
titlePassing SimpleRecord as an argument
linenumberstrue
collapsetrue
const task = new SimpleRecord('task');
task.setLimit(1);
task.query();
if (!task.next()) {
  ss.info('No tasks found!');
  return;
}

const relatedTask = new SimpleRecord('task');
relatedTask.addQuery('caller', task.caller);
relatedTask.addOrCondition('assigned_user', task.caller);
relatedTask.query();
ss.info('Tasks count: ' + relatedTask.getRowCount());
// Info: Tasks count: 122


addQuery(property, operator, value)


With this method you can add a condition to make a selection of records from the database. In this method, you can use any required operator from the condition operators list, specified in lower- or uppercase. Use the system names of the operatorы in the scripts.

You can also specify a RE model attribute of a specific table. To filter records, use the operators corresponding to the attribute type. 

Note

The condition may contain criteria based on the attribute of different RE models. If such criteria are built using the AND operator, the selection of records will be empty. To return records that match a condition, use the OR operator.

Parameter(s):

NameTypeMandatoryDefault Value
propertyStringY

N

Info

For the REM attributes use the following pattern:

'<sys_id>:<attr_name>'

where sys_id – the ID of the model that contain the attribute, and attr_name – the system name of the REM attribute.

ss.info('Tasks count: ' + otherTask.getRowCount());
// Info: Tasks count: 720



addEncodedQuery(condition)


Use this method to add an encoded query to select records from the database.

Info

You can also use a decoded query.

You can also specify a RE model attribute of a specific table. To filter records, use the operators corresponding to the attribute type. 

Note

The condition may contain criteria based on the attribute of different RE models. If such criteria are built using the AND operator, the selection of records will be empty. To return records that match a condition, use the OR operator.

Use curly brackets when setting a filter argument for the text fields of type String, Text, Translated Text, Conditions, and URL. Using parenthesis for the argument may cause a filter query error.

Note
  • When calling the method on a SimpleRecord() instance instance, the values of its attributes bound to the previous model will be reset.
  • After calling the method and updating the сurrent record, the attribute values bound to the previous model will be lost.

        const previousModelAttributes = getRemAttributes(current);
        current.setReModelId(rmc.sys_id);
        const currentModelAttributes = getRemAttributes(current);

        Object.keys(previousModelAttributes).forEach(attributeName => {
            if (currentModelAttributes.hasOwnProperty(attributeName)) {
                current.rem_attr[attributeName] = previousModelAttributes[attributeName];
