  • 1.  Idea Conver Button Disable

    Posted Jul 14, 2015 07:15 AM

    We have a requirement where once Idea gets converted, It should not have convert button or It should not get converted to a project/others another time.

    In a nutsell, An approved Idea is to be allowed to get converted to an investment only once. When an End User tries to convert an already Converted Idea, he/she should get a message saying not allowed or something like that.

     

    Is there any way to achieve this?

     

    Regards

    Hi Gyandeo

     

    Found something similar to your requirement.

    Not sure whether you want a process to be created for it.

     

    Thanks

    Thanks Nipun for your response, But the requirement is "Convert button should be available" but for only one time.

    In the thread you shared, It says to disable/convert the Convert Button.

    We do not want an automated process for Idea Conversion, We just want Convert Button for first time when Idea is getting converted first time.

    Next time onwards, Even if Convert button is there we want an error message saying "This Idea is already Converted to Project".

    Hi Gyandeo,

     

    I don't know of an out-of-the-box way to accomplish this the way you want.  If this is important to you, you could engage services to find out whether this could be accomplished with a customization or not.

    Only Approved Ideas could be converted. Play with Idea Status and see if you give some different status (Probably you could introduce new one for your purpose) and see if that takes away 'Convert' button. In that case, you could create a process or trigger to update status once Idea is converted.

     

    There is XSL option but not sure you could configure it to hide it for some conditions:

     

    Location: /opt/niku/clarity/META-INF/pma/vxsl/idea

    File: ideaProperties.xsl

     

                <xsl:if test="/data/ideaRights/@showConvert='true' ">

                  <action type="button" id="convert" actionId="pma.ideaConvert">

                    <label value="Convert" xml:lang="en"/>

                    <data id="id" value="{id/@value}"/>

                    <xsl:if test="string-length($returnTo) &gt; 0">

                      <data id="return_to" value="{$returnTo}"/>

                    </xsl:if>

                  </action>

                </xsl:if>

    The above mentioned workaround will work on SaaS Environment ?

    This is done using the change in file system which is not a possibility in SAAS platform
