- int getDepartment()
- {
- //Fetch the department record based on login user email ID
- employee = Employees[Official_Email = zoho.loginuserid];
- return employee.Department;
- }
See how it works
Points to note
-
The Department field in the Employee form can be created as a picklist. In this case, the getDepartment function can return the Department value as a string directly and the filter can also be done. (Since integer comparison would be more optimal than string comparison, lookup was used in this example.) The sample code could be:
- string getDepartment()
- {
- return Employee [ Official_Email == zoho.loginuserid ].Department;
- }
