ucAddInit

Purpose

ucAddInit is called as the Add routine is first entered. This method can be used to provide processing before the add issue screen is launched.

Applies To

Add Issue screen

Signature

 public void ucAddInit(SesameSession session,  // contains values of form elements
                       HashMap values)         // selected Vals hashmap

Notes

The business rule directive <== load ==> in conjunction with the SCREEN_NAME equaling ADD provides a similar opportunity to influence the add screen before it is loaded.

Example

<== load ==> if (SCREEN_NAME = ‘ADD’) { FIELD_NAME = VALUE; } This example shows how to set the values of data on the form after reading data from the both the current user and that user’s manager’s account. This will happen before the add issue screen is entered, thus pre-populating the “Manager’s Work Phone” and “Manager’s Cell Phone” fields, depending upon the user accessing the screen.

 public void ucAddInit(SesameSession session,  // contains values of form elements
                       HashMap values)         // selected Vals hashmap
{
    // Call Business Rules
    super.ucAddInit(session, values);
    
    // Get area & project
    String areaId = (String) values.get("AREA");
    String projectId = (String) values.get("PROJECT");
    projectId = projectId.substring(projectId.indexOf("|") + 1, projectId.length());
