Manage Client Scripts | Online Help | Qntrl

Manage Client Scripts

Client Scripts are used to incorporate additional validations to business data while they are recorded in Qntrl. In client scripts, you can code using JavaScript and run the code on the end-user’s browser while they are creating a new card or updating an existing card in Qntrl.

Business use cases

Client Scripts can be used to,
  1. Perform mathematical calculations and validations on field data
  2. Auto-populate fields based on end-user input
  3. Fetch data from third party applications or websites
  4. Track delays and capture causes for delay
  5. Display field values based on users, roles, and profiles
  6. Carry out validations on field data entered by end-user
  7. Throw alerts and messages for field validations
 

When are client scripts executed?

Client Scripts are executed based on one of the following triggers:
  1. On loading a page (onLoad)
  2. On submitting a page (onSubmit)
  3. On changing a field value (onChange)
Only one execution trigger can be associated with a client script.
