Writing a Custom JS Function

2 min read
  1. In Innovator/Client/Solutions/3DV/Scripts/Controls/TGV/DynamicView.ts add the following function:

this.getSelectedItemsHandler = function () {

var ccItem;

const tgvGrid = mainPageExtension.getTgvGrid();

const treeGrid = mainPageExtension.getTreeGrid();

const selectedRowsIds = treeGrid.settings.selectedRows;

const count = selectedRowsIds ? selectedRowsIds.length : 0;

// Add a dummy item to start the result collection (removed later)

var resultItem = aras.newIOMItem(“DeleteMe”, “DeleteMe”);

for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) {

const rowId = selectedRowsIds[i];

const selectedRow = tgvGrid.getRow(rowId);

const dataStr = selectedRow.cells[0].data;

if (dataStr) {

const data = JSON.parse(dataStr);

var thisType = data.type; // this.getType();

var thisId = data.id;

var relshipItemType;

var sourceItemTypeName;

var isRelationship = false;

// Check whether the method is being called from a relationship grid, the main grid or on an

// individual item and build an array of item ids

var relTypeId = aras.getRelationshipTypeId(thisType);

if (relTypeId) {

isRelationship = true;

relshipItemType = aras.getRelationshipType(relTypeId);

var sourceItemType = aras.getItemTypeDictionary(relshipItemType.getProperty(“source_id”), “id”);

sourceItemTypeName = sourceItemType.getProperty(“name”);

}

// When starting from a relationship, get the parent item from the cache and then retrieve the related item

if (isRelationship) {

var parentId = relshipItemType.getProperty(“source_id”, "");

var parentItem = aras.getItemById(sourceItemTypeName, parentId, 0);

if (parentItem) {

ccItem = parentItem.selectSingleNode(“Relationships/Item[@id='" + thisId + "']”);

//If item isn’t cached, get

if (!ccItem) {

ccItem = aras.getItemById(thisType, thisId, 0);

}

//get related Part

if (ccItem) {

ccItem = aras.getRelatedItem(ccItem);

}

}

}

else {

ccItem = aras.getItemById(thisType, thisId, 0);

}

// Add the item to the collection to be returned

if (ccItem) {

if (aras.isNew(ccItem)) {

aras.AlertError(aras.getResource(“PLM”, “affecteditem.add_not_saved_item”, aras.getKeyedNameEx(ccItem)));

return;

}

var tempItem = aras.newIOMItem("", "");

tempItem.loadAML(ccItem.xml);

resultItem.appendItem(tempItem);

}

}

}

if (resultItem.getItemCount() < 2) { return; }

// Remove the dummy item

resultItem.removeItem(resultItem.getItemByIndex(0));

// Set the ChangeItem attribute for debugging purposes and return the results

resultItem.getItemByIndex(0).setAttribute(“ChangeItem”, “Pending”);

var methodArgs = {};

methodArgs.results = resultItem;

results = aras.evalItemMethod(

‘PE_ChooseCMItem’,

ccItem,

methodArgs

);

return resultItem;

};

This function calls a new function which is an adapted version of the standard PE_GetSelectedItems Server Method.

  1. Create the dpn_GetSelectedItems Method of the JavaScript Method Type with its execution allowed to the World Identity:

// MethodTemplateName=CUI;

const dynamicView = options.dpnContext.getDynamicView();

dynamicView.getSelectedItemsHandler ();

This Method will be a menu item click handler.
