Hello All,

I'm trying to create a Design Studio Form that auto inquires and pull some employee information once the employee access it.

Is there a way to pass the portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute("employee") into HR11 Employee field and set the form to inquire oninit?

 

Thank you,

Nabil

Something like this? You will need to default or set the company too. function FORM_OnInit() { var vEmployee = portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute("employee") lawForm.setDataValue("EMP-COMPANY",1,0); lawForm.setDataValue("EMP-EMPLOYEE",vEmployee,0); lawformDoFunction("I"); }

Here are other ideas.

On the employee text field, you can set the default value to pull in the user's employee number from their portal profile variables, as well as set the field to output only.

On the form properties, you can set the initial action to inquire

Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

Thank you Ragu and John. This worked very well! I had to use javascript to inquire on the form oninit() because the drop down 'Initial form action' doesn't display anything but None.
