Parameters

Parameter Description
recId The RecID of the service request instance.
parameterFieldName The name of the service request field on the Parameter tab for which to return the value.

Return Value

The same type as the value of the parameterFieldName parameter. For example, if the parameterFieldName parameter is a DateTime value, this function returns a DateTime value.

Example

$(GetSRPValue(RecId, "RequesterDepartment") != "IT")

Use the example above to retrieve the value of a parameter in a service request. In this example, the GetSRPValue function retrieves the RequesterDepartment parameter from the service request and determines if the requester is not in the IT department. This example might be used in a triggered action to send a notification to the user if they are not in IT and would therefore not see the service request as a normal course of business.

This function is often used in conjunction with the summary field of the service request to identify which service request is in use to know which parameters are available.
