Reference Type Bind

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:

  1. Create a business rule as defined in the Creating a Business Rule, Function, or Library topic here.
  2. Edit the business rule as defined in the Editing a Business Rule or Function topic here.
  3. In the Edit Operation dialog, add the bind to a business rule, as defined in the Adding a Bind topic in the Reference Materials documentation here.
  4. In the Edit Operation dialog, optionally add Messages, as defined in the Adding a Localized Business Rule Message topic here.
  5. In the Edit Operation dialog, add JavaScript to call the bind.

Example

The following is an example JavaScript that uses this bind.

Important: The 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.

Copy 
var reference=node.getReferences(referenceType);
