APPLICATION - PRODUCT ENGINEERING - How to add ULR to items into emails

tobias - Monday, November 24, 2008 9:54 AM:

Hi,

I am working with workflows and I noticed there is only 1 email-template with a universal but simple format.

I think adding new templates would be easy. But, what I would like to do is to insert a URL to the controlled item of a workflow.

what are the queries and variable to be used for this ?

what is the format of a URL that can be called from outside Innovator (from the email message or another client) and which navigates directly to the identified item after log on ?

Hi Tobias -

The format of the URL is:

http://[server]/[innovator]/Client/default.aspx?StartItem=[itemtype]:[id]

for example:

localhost/.../default.aspx

so in the body of the email you can make the item number a link, like this:

<p><font size="+0" style="font-variant: small-caps">${Item[@type="ItemType"]/label}:</font> <a href="">localhost/.../default.aspx

Hope that helps -

Rob

Rob,

thank you very much for you quick response. This is exactly the information I needed.

Would be nice to have this in the standard email template. Or perhaps keep the existing template and add a second one with the URL.
