1. Call SC_GetUser service which pre-populates certain fields for the user who is filling out the form (i.e. initiating the request) — information is fetched based on authenticated user's NetID

2.               Call SC_GetDeptList service. This populates the "What UConn department...?" dropdown initally with:
               

orgCode = Foreign National Form > Personal Information > What UConn department are you working for? > Options > Saved Value

          
orgName = Foreign National Form > Personal Information > What UConn department are you working for? > Options > Displayed Value

• We are binding to onCallFinished so that we can do couple of things:
  • Create a new array of selectable options; next, with the new array the first thing we do is add the first option that should be displayed/selectable by the user, per customer request: "NOT APPLICABLE, NON-EMPLOYEE"
  • Then, we iterate through the current options and combine the `Saved value and Displayed value` to create a `Department Name — Code` string per each current option, and before moving to the next option in the list we add this new to the new array
  • Finally, we set the "What UConn department...?" dropdown with the `new array`
• This allowed us to eliminate the hidden dropdown altogether and improve the QoC (Quality of Code)
• One last improvement we did was; we moved this logic from onLoad to onNew... we do not need to execute the service call each time a form is loaded... because once the Record Initiator  submits, if we had left it in onLoad, the code would have executed it again...Why? So overall, albeit minuscule, we improved the form's performance over the life of it
