Request Forms - How to open request form from wf's email node?

Hello,

Normally, related request form can be opened via request button. I would also like to put request form link in wf's email node. However, i see formToken request parameter in form's link and its value is changing. In this case, request form's link can not open related request form because of the formToken parameter.

Is there any others ways to open request form from email which is sent by wf's email node?

Request Form Link: aveksa/main?ReqType=Dialog&PageID=RequestFormWizard&BreadcrumbLevel=0&Action=New&CRButton=36&formToken=TwO5XCKIlZilNTiAB0OLzao8HCcqkdBl%7CjAHn9z4&includeTerminated=false

Thanks in advance.

I do not think it is possible to achieve that because of the encrypted formToken value which varies with session.

You can use a JSP page to redirect a user to a specific form.

Use a JSP similar to this one (this is notepad edited, so there might be some compilation errors):
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=windows-1255" pageEncoding="windows-1255"%> <%@ taglib uri="http://aveksa.com/guiframework.tld" prefix="gui" %> <%@ page import="com.aveksa.gui.core.MainManager" %> <%@ page import="com.aveksa.gui.objects.user.GuiEnterpriseUser" %> <%@ page import="com.aveksa.gui.util.*" %> <%@ page import="com.aveksa.gui.pages.changeRequest.edit.submit.RequestFormWizard" %> <% GuiEnterpriseUser user = MainManager.getCurrentUser(); ArrayList<GuiEnterpriseUser> selfList = new ArrayList<GuiEnterpriseUser>(1); selfList.add(user); String formname = "YOUR_FORM_NAME_HERE"; %> <script> <%= new RequestFormWizard().getURL(request, ObjectStore.getRequestFormByName(formname), null, selfList) %> </script>
If the form should open under the user's context (self-service), keep the selfList var as in the sample above (this will cause the form to apply to the currently logged on user).
If the user needs to select a user (or multiple users) first, then set selfList to null.

Upload the JSP file under the "Admin"->"User Interface"->"Files" (make sure to select "JSP Pages" in the drop-down)
To link to this file, use the following format:
https://<hostname>/aveksa/main?ReqType=GetPage&PageID=JSP&page=<filename.jsp>

When a user will click the URL, he'll first be redirected to the login page. After authentication, this JSP will redirect the user to the proper form.

Mind that you can't send the form name as a parameter - VLG will block unknown query parameters (there's a trick to do that too, but it's a little more complex...)

  Hello,
  
  did someone implement this in 7.0.1? I am just getting a blank page when I open it.
  
  The error message in the log is:
  JBWEB004060: An error occurred at line: 16 in the jsp file: /custom/jsp/openForm.jsp
  ObjectStore cannot be resolved
  13:
  14: %>
  15: <script>
  16: <%= new RequestFormWizard().getURL(request, ObjectStore.getRequestFormByName(formname), null, null) %>
  17: </script>
  
  Also the ArrayList cannot be resolved.
  
  Thanks,

    I have added an import for the ObjectStore and now it is working.
    
    <%@ page import="com.aveksa.gui.objects.ObjectStore" %>
