Hi Jacquie,

To get the user you need to use EAM.AppData.getInstallParams().get("user");

Here is an example where it's stored in a variable:

var vUser = EAM.AppData.getInstallParams().get("user");

Is this what you were looking for?

Veronique,

I am now trying to to move the Current Date to custom date field. How do I get the current date? Is ther a list of values / installparameters that I can pull from?

Thanks in advance

Hi Jacquie,

We are an international company with organizations is various time zones, so this had to be a consideration when retrieving a user's organization date/time.

Maybe there is a better option but, so far, we used a function that calls a grid of type Alert Management that does the following query:

select org_code org_code, O7GTTIME(ORG_CODE) org_date FROM r5organization WHERE org_code = 'OurOrgCode'

In the function that gets the formatted date from the DB we have a request that looks like this:

response = EAM.Ajax.request({

url: 'GRIDDATA',

params: {

GRID_NAME: 'THENAMEOFOURGRID',

REQUEST_TYPE: 'LIST.HEAD_DATA.STORED',

LOV_ALIAS_NAME_1: 'pOrg',

LOV_ALIAS_VALUE_1: pOrgValue,

LOV_ALIAS_TYPE_1: '',

},

async: false,

method: 'POST'

});

if (response && response.success !== false) {

var gridresult = response.responseData.pageData.grid.GRIDRESULT.GRID;

var vDateOrg = EAM.Date.parseDate(gridresult.DATA[0].org_date);

}

It's possible that the dates you work with are not in the same format.

We have also, when needed, formatted dates with the following:

var vDateFormatted = Ext.util.Format.date(vDate, Ext.Date.defaultFormat + " H:i");

There is also an install parameter for language but I did not see anything for a user's org date/time.

EAM.AppData.getInstallParams().get("language")

Maybe someone else has a different idea?

Hope this helps!
