  3. Create a Custom List with the name Authorized Employees that will contain two columns: Employee Name and Employee Email.
  4. Insert some data to that Custom List (insert rows).
  5. Insert the below-mentioned script to the EmployeeName tag.

Script Example:

var Tags = LEGITO.documentBuilder.getTagsByName("EmployeeName");

for(var i in Tags){

if(!Tags[i].isSystem()){

var MyTag = Tags[i];

}

}

var str = LEGITO.documentBuilder.event.element.getValue();

var TargetTags = LEGITO.documentBuilder.getTagsByName("GetEmployeeEmail");

var finder = LEGITO.documentBuilder.event.createElementFinder();

var FindEmployeeEmail = finder.findElementsByTagsAuto(TargetTags);

var AuthorizedEmployees = LEGITO.list.getListRecordsByName("Authorized Employees");

for(var i in AuthorizedEmployees){

if(AuthorizedEmployees[i][“employee-name”] == str){

for(var iii in FindEmployeeEmail)

{

FindEmployeeEmail[iii].setValue(AuthorizedEmployees[i][“employee-email”]);

}

}};
