custom look and feel ??

Is it possible to modify the screen that a user will see after he logs in the teamsite. Can we directly take user to some workarea of his interest.?

Also is it possible to invoke the data capture templates from other applications (html pages other than those of teamsite)?

In WebDesk Pro - each user/role pair can navigate to within a TeamSite area (EDITIONS/edition_name, STAGING, WORKAREA/workarea_name) or the To Do List [default] and use the Edit > Set Home Page menu option. The next time they login with that role, they should be taken to that same location after logging in.

Note that you can have different home pages for different roles of the same user.

In WebDesk (Author GUI) - I believe you are taken to wherever you were when you last logged out - but you can save "Favorites" and easily get back to a desired location.

This is OK.
What I actually want is that can I add the url of new dcr for some data type in my favourites?
So that when I go that link I will be directly taken into the data capture template....
is it possible?

I don't believe you can get taken directly to the Edit DCR window - but you can certainly record a Favorite for the directory in which the DCR exists... Within the TeamSite GUI.

Outside the TeamSite GUI - you could create an HTML page with CCI URL links (see the TeamSite Admin Manual and search the KB articles on the support site for more information) - and with these links you could get taken (a) directly to the Edit DCR window if you already have an authenticated cookie, or (b) to the login window, and then to the Edit DCR window if you didn't already have an authenticated cookie.

To edit the DCR directly from a HTML link on a page, you could use the fully qualified URL for your TeamSite server.
http://tsserver/iw/webdesk/newdcr?area_path=/default/main/branch/WORKAREA/name/templatedata/categoryname/x/x/x
This will open the DCT upon clicking the link and if the cookie is *not* already set, then it will first prompt for login info and then opne DCT directly.
You will have to capture the name of DCR as that needs to be added as query string.

Hope this helps.

thanks..
it worked fine...
got all the cci options...

i was wondering if it is possible to retrieve the todo list as well or then is it something to do with open api??

thanx for all the help..

Depending on where you're going with this - the To Do List is the default page one sees when logging into TeamSite - so if you're creating your own custom CGI for the Edit DCR part this default behavior can remain in effect.

If you want to add to your CGI script (presumably) the retrieving of the information on the To Do List - it can be done via perl (see; TeamSite::WFsystem, TeamSite::WFworkflow, TeamSite::WFtask modules) - or using iwquerytasks CLT (there's been a discussion regarding this on the Workflow forum within the last couple of weeks) depending on what information you want to display.

You can probably do this with OpenAPI (Java) too - though I must profess a lack of experience with it - and so I cannot verify this personally.

(if this is an offshoot of the original question, I recommend creating a new thread)

I'm unclear when you say, "You will have to capture the name of DCR as that needs to be added as query string" how would that look on the url?
