Hyperlinks; loading object forms & attribute values

autonomy2

Hello Support.

In regards to the presentation function in AwareIM, is it possible to load a form (object) with the form attributes embedded using a hyperlink - based on the query results of the presentation?

Absolutely. Simply select the operation type Edit Business Object in the hyperlink details.

Hello Support.

I understand the following loads an object form;

inputEntity.do?actionMethod=displayForm&entityName=objectName

How would one express loading attribute values on this object form, with values passed from a hyperlink? Is this possible?

Could you describe the scenario you want to implement in more details?

As an example, I have a form (business object) called "FormValues" with two attributes defined as "ValueOne" and "ValueTwo".

The hyperlink used to call the form for editing would be;

inputEntity.do?actionMethod=displayForm&entityName=FormValues

To pre-populate the two attributes on this form using the hyperlink you would need to express this in the hyperlink (supposedly), which might look something like;

inputEntity.do?actionMethod=displayForm&entitiyName=FormValues&entityValueOne=SomeValue&entityValueTwo=SomeValue

I'm asking, as I can't get this to work properly. The hyperlink calls the form correctly, but the form attributes aren't populated (basically ignoring the rest of the hyperlink).

You cannot pass initial values using this method, but there are a couple of easier ways to initialize an object using standard Aware IM functionality. One is to add a process with a single rule in it:

ENTER NEW MyEntity WITH MyEntity.AttributeOne = 'value1', MyEntity.AttributeTwo = 'value2'

and call this process from a hyperlink. The other way is to simply specify the initial values for the attributes in the attribute properties dialog so that no additional process would be necessary.
