Expand Request Type Section when Opening requests

[cat_gon]

Hi All,

We have noticed that when we open a request  some of the section is collapse while some are expanded.

How can we make it consistent that when we open a request make all the section expanded by default.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi Catherine,

When we collapse/expand any section in the request type in the browser and then save it...

Next time when we open the same request type then it opens in the same condition as it was saved last in..

If you want that all the sections should be expanded and just open the requet , expand all sections and then save it...

Thanks!!

Hello Catherine,

This is related with user settings – if I user makes them expanded/collapsed they will stay like that for the same user next time he logs. However that will not affect any other user or request. They cannot be pre-defined to be expanded/collapsed for a user or a request.

I guess cleaning the cache may help to reset such settings.

Hi Catherine,

You can use a UI rule to expand or collapse the sections in a request type.

Following is what other customer has added to their RequestRulesUserLibrary.js file.

function expandCollapseSection(sectionName) {
if (isSectionExpanded(sectionName)) {
collapseSection(sectionName);
} else {
expandSection(sectionName);
}
}

function collapseSection(sectionName) {
if (!isSectionExpanded(sectionName)) {
return;
}
}

function expandSection(sectionName) {
if (isSectionExpanded(sectionName)) {
return;
}
}

function isSectionExpanded(sectionName) {
result = false;
var imageElement = document.getElementById('IMAGE_' + sectionName);
if (imageElement != null) {
result = (imageElement.src== collapseImg.src);
}
return result;
}

To use the above UI Rule, you just need to know which section you want to expand or collapse, and enter its value.

Below is an example where we are expanding one section and collapsing three others:

expandSection('EC_SUBSECTION_EC_REQUEST_DETAILS_4'); collapseSection('EC_SUBSECTION_EC_REQUEST_DETAILS_3'); collapseSection('EC_SUBSECTION_EC_REQUEST_DETAILS_2'); collapseSection('EC_SUBSECTION_EC_REQUEST_DETAILS_1');

Hello, Catherine.

Actually, you can, all you need- is to update few *.jsp files, two java-classes, and create one table in database.
