I am trying to figure out how I can intercept the action being taken on an inbasket workunit and perform a test. If the test = true the action will be taken, if false show an alert. Similar to what you would do in design studio with OnBeforeTransaction.

The following was provided to me by Jonathan Ford some time ago. It's for PFI and done within your Design Studio Portal Page.

function portalpage_OnInit()
{
var navObj=portalObj.tabArea.tabs["PAGE"].getNavlet('inbasketActions')
     navObj.target = window
     //parameters below are 
//1. Action id
//2.Dispay Name in menu 
//3. action
     navObj.changeItem("action0","Approve","parent.inbasketDoAction('Approve', '0')")  //parent.inbasketDoAction() is the built in Lawson function that is normally called
     navObj.changeItem("action1","Reject","reject1('Reject', '1')")
     
}

function reject1(action, row){
     var vRequester=page.parameters.RQH_REQUESTER
     var vRequisition=page.parameters.RQH_REQ_NUMBER
     var reason=prompt("Please enter the reason you selected " + action, "")
     reason = reason.replace(/[^a-zA-Z 0-9]+/g,'');
     //attach reason to workunit, or put it in a custom table with the requester/requisition variables so it can be read after the action node
     
parent.inbasketDoAction(action, row);  

}

Here it is without the single quotes encoded.

 function portalpage_OnInit()
{
var navObj=portalObj.tabArea.tabs["PAGE"].getNavlet(“inbasketActions”)
     navObj.target = window
     //parameters below are 
//1. Action id
//2.Dispay Name in menu 
//3. action
     navObj.changeItem("action0","Approve","parent.inbasketDoAction(‘Approve’, ‘0’)")  //parent.inbasketDoAction() is the built in Lawson function that is normally called
     navObj.changeItem("action1","Reject","reject1(‘Reject’, ‘1’)")
     
}

function reject1(action, row){
     var vRequester=page.parameters.RQH_REQUESTER
     var vRequisition=page.parameters.RQH_REQ_NUMBER
     var reason=prompt("Please enter the reason you selected " + action, "")
     reason = reason.replace(/[^a-zA-Z 0-9]+/g,’’);
     //attach reason to workunit, add as comment, or put it in a custom table with the requester/requisition variables so it can be read after the action node
     
parent.inbasketDoAction(action, row);

Thank you both for the reply. I am actually using a custom .htm file and not a design studio form for this inbasket. I thought the "command" in the user action node was meant for something like this just not sure how to use it.

portalObj.tabArea.tabs

Can somebody tell me what the syntax in V10 is for this? It worked on V9. On V10, it barfs - "unable to get property 'tabs' of undefined or null reference'. Thanks.
