When a user runs a report in Infor CRM, it starts a report job on the server. While this is happening, the user will see a progress dialog. When it is complete, the progress dialog changes to display the text “The job has completed successfully” and presents a link for the user to download the completed report as a PDF. This might be confusing to some users since all they know is they were running a report. They don’t know that a “job” was started and completed on the server or what that means to them. However, you can change this text to something more meaningful for the user.
First, one thing to note, this progress dialog will show for running any jobs. Not just for running a report. If it were just for reports, you could likely override the text in the Sage/Utility/nls/Jobs.js file (the text is there in root.jobCompletedSuccessfully). However, that might make things confusing for when other types of jobs complete. Instead, I’m going to subscribe to the topic of when a job is complete. I’ll check the link to see if it is a download link (which, for reports, will use Sage.Utility.File.Attachment.getAttachment) and then modify the text in the dialog for only jobs with a file to download.
This is what the out of the box dialog looks like:
The code looks like this:
require(['dojo/_base/connect', 'dojo/query', 'dojo/dom'], function(connect, query, dom) {
connect.subscribe('/job/execution/changed', function() {
var lnk = query('#progressDialogLinkDiv a').first();
if (lnk && lnk.attr('href') && lnk.attr('href').length && lnk.attr('href')[0].indexOf('Sage.Utility.File.Attachment.getAttachment') > 0) {
var elem = dom.byId('progressDialogMessageDiv');
if (elem) elem.innerHTML = 'Your report has been generated. Click the link below to download the file:';
}
});
});
This code will result in the following when a report job is run:
You can add this code in a script file using my Custom Loader Module o just add it to the base.master file inside a script block.
It’s a bit hacky, but any more direct way would require replacing the _updateProgress function in the Sage.Utility.Jobs.js code. One thing to note, if you are using my FX.ReportUtilityJS code to start report jobs from client-side code, it already does have the ability built-in to override the completion text when a report is run.
