Anyway to pass the eFolderID contained in a URL to a new admin form.

 

We have ways to present a url in a email from a process which onclick loads that folder. Im trying to pass a URL in a email to open a Admin form, on opening the admin form this passes a efolderID of the record.

 

Once the efolderID has been passed to the admin form my intenstion are to have a onload jscript to get data from a database associated with the eFolderID

 

Sort of a progress screen for the folder.

 

Hope thats makes sennse

    Although we did not document it in SR3, I believe you could still pass in data via URL with the same mechanism we use for drilldown on the Status Fields.  We are adding this documentation to 9.1.  This should be in the format like.

     

    http:////eForm.aspx?Map=&Action=&Service=&FilterParams=;;:;;……

     

    Note: The “FilterParams” parameter represents initial control values. The initial values are extracted and passed to the ECL StartAction method. Engine accepts it and returns the values of the form controls.

     

    for example:

    eForm.aspx?Map=Process1&Action=UserAction1&Service=Metastorm%20BPM%20Server&FilterParams=Text1;Lalala%24%25^%26*%28+%29_%2b;Text

    It sounds like DanAdmin may be on version 7 still (since he mentioned jscript)?  If so, Rob will this work on version 7.x?

    Rob, this is really useful information, thanks.  I can't help feeling that there must so much to v9 than most us know at the moment simply because it's not documented. Are there any plans to improve the level of technical documentation?

    Our technical authors are working as quickly as possible to improve our documentation.  In fact, the 9.1 documentation will include significant more documentation and samples for our visual script activities.  If there are specific areas people are interested in, please let me know and I'll pass it along to the doc team.
