'otcs_user' alpaca control in WebReport

I need an advice in using smart ui user picker control in the web report.

I'm trying to instantiate it with the next code:

$("#author").alpaca({
        "options": {
            'type': 'otcs_user',
            'context':new PageContext(),
            'name':'author'
        }
    });

but it cause exception:

Using the'select' and 'date' alpaca fields in the same way was successful

Hi Alexandr,

It's not recommended to use alpaca directly in the Smart UI. There are reusable components available for this. If you have access to the Smart UI SDK check out the documentation for the FormView ('csui/controls/form/form.view').

Here is a simple example to show a user picker in a Smart UI HTML WebReport tile.

contentRegion.show(formView);
});
</script>

Ian
