    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    Settable components have a data type that determines what values a Custom UI test step can set. For example, a page component intended to display a reference to a particular record can have a reference data type to only display Sys ID values.

    Prozedur

    1. Open the custom UI page you would like to test.
    2. Add the sn-atf-data-type attribute to the settable component and set the value to the field type you would like displayed in the Set Component Value test step.

      This attribute contains a string of the testable data type. The available values include those listed in the following table.

      Attribute value Description
      glide_date Contains a string specifying a particular day.
      glide_date_time Contains a string specifying a particular day and time of day.
      reference Contains a Sys ID to a related record. This data type requires specifying additional information in the sn-atf-data-type-params attribute.
    3. Add the sn-atf-data-type-params attribute to provide additional information when the value of sn-atf-data-type is reference.

      This attribute contains a string of JSON formatted key-value pairs. Available key-value pairs include those listed in the following table.

      Key Value
      reference Name of the table that contains the records you want the reference field to display. For example, add "reference":"incident" to display records from the Incident table.
      reference_qual Filter to apply to the query. For example, add "reference_qual":"active=true" to display only active Incident records. See Reference qualifiers

    Beispiel

    <input id="someTextField" value="someSysId" sn-atf-data-type="reference" sn-atf-data-type-params='{"reference":"incident","reference_qual":"active=true"}'/>
