You can use sbfunc to create a custom Browser Script that runs whenever a user clicks Save or Submit.

• Similar to savefunc but sbfunc does not run on Save Draft

Instructions:

• Create a Custom Field on the page of type: Custom Field Type: Special – Browser Script
• Include a function in the Browser Script called sbfunc that includes the JavaScript you wish to execute when the record is either saved or submitted.
• The function must return either a value of true if the record should be saved/submitted; or false if the record should not be saved/submitted.
• Standard and Custom Field validations are performed before the sbfunc script is run, so if the function returns true the record immediately be saved/submitted. If the function returns false no further validation is performed and the record is not saved/submitted.

Example 1:

function sbfunc(frm)
   {
    do this
    RunAnotherFunction()
    do that
    return true
   }

• Note that JavaScript is case sensitive.

Example 2:

• The following sample JavaScript function will prompt the user to confirm if they really want to save the record.

function sbfunc(frm)
{
var answer = confirm ("Do you really want to save this?")
if (answer)
   {
   alert ("Consider it done")
   return true
   }
else
   {
   alert ("Keep filling it in then")
   return false
   }
}

• The "return false" isn't strictly necessary. If the function does not return true then false is assumed.
