I have been playing with adding Process flow triggers from Design Studio and can trigger a process without any trouble. The issue I am having is how do I get some basic variables passed from the incident which triggered the flow so They can be used in the flow.

The example i have been playing with is creating a log of who is viewing hr11 records.

I can tell who is looking but I am not able to tell which records.

How do I get the criteria variables that are set up on the service to populate?

I have article planned in a few months that demonstrates how to do this. I will see if it is complete enough to post.
Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

From the Trigger Criteria and Variables Selection window when creating the Work Flow trigger, highlight the criteria field. there is a listing near the bottom showing Name and Value,  the criteria field will display in the Name field.  You can set the value to a Literal, User Variable or Form field.   Literals are hard coded static text, Form fields are fields defined on the existing Lawson form (as you would get by doing a getDataValue in javascript in Design Studio), the User Variables are information about the user stored on the portal page (same as what is returned from  a servlet/Profile?).  some of the values you can assign are employee number and lawsonuserlogin.
