Custom Object pop-up message

Hello, I'm trying to create a Custom Object code to display a pop-up window once the user clicks on the radio button. The pop-up should only contact the information field from other application.

OR - if this can be done without using custom object, it would be nice


Contact Information is Cross Reference field.


We are running on 6.8 P2, any help with code would be much appreciated

Thank You.

Muhammad, this isn't an easy custom object you're looking to create.

Question, is the data you want to display visible in the record that is going to display the pop-up?  If so, you can use the browser to inspect the data (right-click) and build your custom object.

Be aware that Archer uses field IDs to identify fields and when moving custom objects from one environment to another you'll need to update the custom object with the correct field ids.  You can use The Horror's of Moving Custom Objects from One Environment to Another - RSA Link - 569029 to mitigate this issue.

Also, custom objects are inserted into the already established DOM so there is no need for DOCTYPE, html or body tags.

Muhammad, if the data is in another application, you'll need to use the REST APIs to retrieve the information and that is going to require the tracking/content id of the record in the other application.

If you can use a calculated cross-reference field to retrieve the data, it would make this custom object a lot easier to display the data.

Hi David,

Yes, i will using calculated cross -reference field to retrieve data 

For Example:

User Click on Show me - popup message display information about contact information

<html>
<body>

<button onclick="myFunction()">Show Me</button>

<script>
function myFunction() {
alert(This is Test); ----should i use $CM.getFieldValue

}
</script>

</body>
</html>

Muhammad, again you don't need the html or body tags in a custom object.

The $CM.getFieldValue() function will not work with fields inside of a cross-reference.  You'll have to use the browser's developer tools to inspect the DOM structure to find how to get the data you need.

If the calculated cross-reference has more than one record, then you'll need to loop through the data to get what you want.
