The examples below create an Interaction record using the table name (interaction) and show how to assign skills to the interaction work item, creating a record in the Interaction Skills [interaction_m2m_skill] table.

Use case 1: Use returned results from determineWorkItemSkills() to assign skills to a work item from the Interaction table.

// Create an interaction record
var now_GR = new GlideRecord('interaction');
now_GR.insert();

var util = new sn_skill_rule.SkillDeterminationUtils();

// Get interaction skills interaction 
// and specify if any are mandatory
var result = util.determineWorkItemSkills(now_GR);

// Assign skills determined by result and 
// assign them to the interaction work item
util.assignSkillsToWorkItem(result, now_GR);

Use case 2: Manually insert skills array. In this case, assign IT skills to the Interaction work item.

var now_GR = new GlideRecord('interaction');
now_GR.insert();

var util = new sn_skill_rule.SkillDeterminationUtils();

var skills = [{"skillSysId":"2eb1c2029f100200a3bc1471367fcfe4", "skillName":"IT", "mandatory":true, "skillLevelName":"", "skillLevelSysId":null}];

util.assignSkillsToWorkItem(skills, now_GR);

SkillDeterminationUtils - determineWorkItemSkills(GlideRecord now_GR)

Gets skills for a specified work item, indicates if the skills are mandatory, and lists any skill levels.

Name	Type	Description
now_GR	GlideRecord	GlideRecord of a work item from any interaction or task table extension.

Type	Description
Array	One or more skill objects.- skillSysId: String. Sys ID of the skill from the Skills \[cmn\_skill\] table. - skillName: String. Name of the skill. - mandatory: Boolean. True if mandatory, false otherwise. - skillLevelName: If skill exists, name of the skill level. - skillLevelSysId: If skill exists, Sys ID of the skill level from the Skill Levels \[cmn\_skill\_level\] table.

The following script creates an interaction record, gets skills for the interaction work item, and indicates if the skills are mandatory.

// Create an interaction record
var now_GR = new GlideRecord('interaction');
now_GR.insert();

var util = new sn_skill_rule.SkillDeterminationUtils();

var result = util.determineWorkItemSkills(now_GR);
gs.info(JSON.stringify(result));

Output:

[{"skillSysId":"6c0f025c7f672300a8b1bdc8adfa917f",
"skillName":"Premier Support Certified",
"mandatory":false,"skillLevelName":"",
"skillLevelSysId":null}]
