Business rules can use the Reference Type bind to access the Reference Type or Link Type selected from the dialog. The bind can be found within the 'Binds to' dropdown, as shown below.
Configuration
To use any bind:
-
Create a business rule as defined in the Creating a Business Rule, Function, or Library topic.
-
Edit the business rule as defined in the Editing a Business Rule or Function topic.
-
In the Edit Operation dialog, add the bind to a business rule, as defined in the Adding a Bind topic in the Resource Materials online help documentation.
-
In the Edit Operation dialog, optionally add Messages, as defined in the Localized Messages for JavaScript Business Rules topic.
-
In the Edit Operation dialog, add JavaScript to call the bind.
Example
The following is an example JavaScript that uses this bind.
Important: Example scripts should not be used as-is without thorough testing, including updating the script to match object and link types that exist on your system. JavaScript variable names are case-sensitive.
The following code gets the value of the reference type 'Installation Manual' on the current object and stores it in the variable reference.
var reference=node.getReferences(referenceType);
