Syntax

Copy

formData.refreshForm(): Promise<void>

Examples

Update a credit's state to approved and record the approval date via a server side script, then reflect the change in the user interface

In this example:

We set up a button called Approve on a credit record's form.

The Approve button calls the approveCredit endpoint using the ebs.callActionByName method as defined below in the afterGenerate.js script:

Copy

$('#Approve').on('click', function (event) {
    ebs.callActionByName('approveCredit', {recordID: formData.id, entityName: formData.entityName});
    formData.refreshForm();
});

The entity name and record ID are passed to the approveCredit endpoint in the entityName and recordID variables respectively. For details, see formData.entityName and formData.id.

The approveCredit endpoint runs the following on-demand server automation script which changes the record's business status to Approved and saves the current date and time in the approvedOn attribute:

Copy

update(ftos.context.data.entityName, ftos.context.data.recordID, {approvedOn: new Date});
changeBusinessStatus(ftos.context.data.entityName, ftos.context.data.recordID, '28903b91-914a-41f5-8071-557cc9198967');

28903b91-914a-41f5-8071-557cc9198967 is the ID of the Approved business status. For details about the update and changeBusinessStatus functions, see the Server SDK Reference Guide.
