  • 1.  Javascript to set default values in date prompts

    Posted Sat April 03, 2021 03:04 PM
    Hi Friends,

    I need to dynamically set default values for two date prompts: 'dateFrom' and 'dateTo' (UI: Editbox & Calendar type: Gregorian).
    In the first prompt I need to set the default value to 1st day of the current year while I have to set the default value of the second prompt to current date.

    Please help me with javascript code for the above requirement. Another thing is I want the default values to appear in the format: yy-mon-dd (month should be like Jan, Feb, Mar.....) if possible.


    Regards

    Hi Kiran
    Have you checked the Sample Report from CA. If you have not i suggest you start there.
    There is Date Prompt Preset Report which uses custom control using JS.
    Thanks
    Sanjay

    Hi Sanjay,

    I may not be  able to access the sample report in my work environment.
    Could you please share with me the java script code or xml spec of the report so that I can understand?


    Thanks you,
    Kiran

    Hi Raman,

    the URL Patrick shared here  2. RE: Set Custom Default value for Date Prompt will give you access to the files needed, excluding the report spec.

    More useful links can be found there including a video.

    The uploaded Extension will then be referenced in a Custom Control component within the report.

    Hope this helps, regards
