End User Attachment Validation

[Mohamed El-Fahd Essam]

Hello;

 

i have a concern from the customer that asking for a specific case if its doable or not:

 

In The End User Interface can we make a validation to check if the employee has attached at least one document or not.

 

what the customer is trying to achieve is to force the end user to attach at least one document before saving the request?!!

 

Any Thoughts on that?!!

 

Best Regards;

Thnx Chi For your feedback; but i have 3 concerns regarding the following code:

 

1- zAttmntcount: is it a customized attribute that i should create first before?

2- regarding the Javascript i will open WSP Then Employee form and i will choose java script the past the below script?

3- how shall i combine this method with spel post validation?

 

Appreciate your patience and kind response

 

 

you may use preSaveTrigger() for these purposes. Depending on role and sdm version attachments displaying may vary, you need get attachments count using JavaScript simply checking DOM tree for attachments inputs. Code could be:

function preSaveTrigger() {
     // get attachments count using DOM model
     if (zAttmntCount > 0)
          return true;
     else
          return false;
}

Also you can combine this method with spel post validation.
