Display link to a form in end user page
Hi,
I am using IDM 7.0. I have created a new form and the link needs to be displayed on the end user page. I know it has to be done through the end user menu form but not sure how. Can somebody please guide me through this.
Also once the user enters first and last names the account id needs to be generated automatically. How can this be done?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

id user enters firstname and last name, there should be a logic to calculate accountid. you can write a expression to calculate the value .if you can specify the logic for genrating account id i can help you.
in the end user menu add one field and give the link to the teaskdef using processlaunch.jsp
and in that task def call your form using manual action.
(Start ->call manualaction form -->end)

Hi,
Thanks for the replies. Here is what i did:
<Field name='Standard Approval'>
<Display class='Link'>
<Property name='URL' value='user/processLaunch.jsp'/>
<Property name='title' value='Standard Approval'/>
<Property name='id' value='Standard Approval'/>
</Display>
</Field>
This doesnt seem to work. I am using IDM 7.0,in which the end user page has changes a little bit. However, i am unable to find the link.
Swapnu18,
The logic for generating the account Id, is first initial of firs name followed by last name.
Thanks again for ur help.

Sungirl,
The code that rynmbeal provided should work.
For the account generation, you need a field in the form called something like accountId, and have an expansion like:
<concat>
<substr>
<ref>firstname</ref>
<i>0</i>
<i>1</i>
<substr>
<ref>lastname</ref>
</concat>

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I am trying to use the code u gave me. However,i'm getting an error,</Display> is invalid. here's what i'm doing
<Field name='AccountId'>
<Display class='Text'>
<Property name='title' value='AccoutId'/>
<concat>
<substr>
<ref>firstName</ref>
<i>0</i>
<i>1</i>
</substr>
<ref>lastName</ref>
</concat>
</Display>
</Field>
The syntax seems right. Is there a restriction on using concat or substr in the fields.
Pls let me know
