Hi Team,

I am working on request form where target user email address has to be specifically from 'searshc' domain to have him accesses. If user's email address is different than 'xxx@searshc.com' he should not be able to raise request as it won't be provisioned.

So on request form I have added 'Enable' condition to 'Entitlement Table' using JavaScript expression as

avform.user.Email_Address.includes("@searshc")

and a separate JavaScript control to show alert that due to incorrect email address they won't be able to raise the request.

This works excellent in Google Chrome & Firefox Mozilla but fails for Internet Explorer.

I have checked www.w3schools.com which clearly mentions includes() method only works for IE 12.

I doubt that all our business users have IE version equal or higher than 12 but I am sure that lots of users do use IE than Chrome OR Firefox.

So how can I enable/ disable 'Entitlement Table' field based on email address checking for sub string '@searshc' in it.

Hi Amit,

It works, I thought only boolean type of method works here.

Also our DEV environment is bit slow which takes few seconds to compare and enable the entitlement table which confused me that indexOf() or match() not working.

Thank you.

Why go through such eloborate scheme when you can just check the user's email domain in the button visibility filter or i nthe forms user picker ?

Hi Pradeep,

Purpose behind this all was, if I filter users directly from user picker, they won't be even landing on entitlements table page.

I am throwing an alert using a separate java script block which mentions the error that particular user don't have desired email and they should work with internal Exchange / LDAP team to get such email created first.

But once the alert box is closed by clicking 'OK' it still shows the entitlement table and one can still submit the request. So I needed it disabled based on email.

If such error is not displayed they will simply bug us via emails that they are not able to raise request.

And this whole thing is for Google Cloud Project where email is primary key for users in GCP.
