Introduction

What are Hash Variables?

...

English

Hash variables in Joget are placeholders used to dynamically display data within applications. They allow users to insert dynamic content without hardcoding values, which enhances flexibility and customization. Hash variables can fetch and display data from various sources such as forms, workflows, and the system itself. They promote customization and flexibility by avoiding hardcoded values, ultimately improving the user-friendliness of Joget applications.

A hash variable is a special hash-escaped keyword that can be used in :

titleNew in Joget DX

A new #process.recordId# hash variable was introduced in Joget DX to retrieve the process database table id (or primary key value) which will return the UUID id value of the process record stored in app_fd_[form_table_name], if the General Settings > Run Process Primary Key is set to "UUID". If the "Run Process Primary Key" option in General Settings is set to "Process instance ID", the "#process.recordId#" will return the same value as "#process.processId#".

Description

To get date time according to a specified format.

Info
titleLocalization

The returned value would follow current logged in user's timezone. If user's information is not available, then it will use server's timezone.

Attributes
  • #date.dateFormat#

  • #date.dateUnit[+-]integerValue.dateFormat#

  • #date.dateFormat|TZ# A new feature in Joget DX v7.0.8 to display the date time adjusted based on the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) timezone value (0 to 12), for example, "#date.yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm|5#" will display the current date time based on UTC plus 5 hours. Read Display Date Time Based On UTC.


Info
titleOptions

dateFormat

  • In Java date format; e.g., yyyy-MM-dd for 2011-06-01

dateUnit

  • YEAR
  • MONTH
  • DAY

integerValue

  • Numeric integer value. E.g. 10


  • #date.DATE_FORMAT_TO[INPUT_DATE_VALUE| INPUT_VALUE_FORMAT]#

  • #date.dateUnit[+-]integerValue.DATE_FORMAT_TO[INPUT_DATE_VALUE| INPUT_VALUE_FORMAT]#

Info

INPUT_DATE_VALUE accepts any date value and even nested hash variables, e.g: form data hash variable. See example in sample attributes below.

INPUT_VALUE_FORMAT is the INPUT_DATE_VALUE original format.

DATE_FORMAT_TO defines the format to change to.

The above date hash with format control will use the login user's time zone setting and automatically adjust the date and time. If the user's time zone setting is blank, it wil revert to the System Settings "System Time Zone" property. If you want to perform a date formatting without using the time zone value, download and import the Date Formatter Hash Variable plugin from Joget Marketplace.

Scope of Use
  • All components within the App.

Description

Userview Key Hash Variable is used solely for the purpose of accessing the current UI key's value.

Typical use case for this hash variable are:-

  • Filtering a List based on UI Key.
  • Preloading certain form data field (e.g. subform) in a Form or Form part of a process flow based on UI Key.

Expression Hash Variable


** for "datalist.col.xx.ID.column" variables, the "column" parameter refers to the order of the column in the list starting from 0. hence, to refer to the first column in a list called list_f1, your hash variable would look like this : #datalist.col.sum.list_f1.column_0
** the column are counted from 0, and does not include the default checkbox included in list tables

Description

The uiListCount hash variable is primarily utilized to retrieve the Datalist or Inbox menu count value.

Attributes
  • #uiListCount.MENU_ID#
  • #uiListCount.UI_ID.MENU_ID#
Scope of Use
  • All components within the App except UI Permission.
Warning

uiListCount cannot be used inside UI permission. This is due to:
1. UI permission contains a uiListCount hash variable
2. uiListCount Hash requires UI to load to get the count
3. In order to load the UI design,  the UI permission will be called. It goes back to step 1.
(Will cause an infinite recursion that eventually returns a StackOverflow exception error :
