Hi, 

 

Is there a way to pass a variable within Laserfiche Web client when i have a form configured as a Custom tab. Looking for the Entry ID to be passes by ticking the box in front of the document before having to open it then i have an Entry ID field on the form which will display the iframe?

Currently it works well when doing typing or selecting the EntryID, but wish to automate this if possible.

 

Regards,
Gert

I do think it is what you are looking for, but perhaps I should have provided more details on what you need to set up. When you configure your Custom Tab, you need to build the URL with query string parameters as described by that article, and use the token menu to insert a token into the URL:

Then, when you view the tab, Web Client will fill in the tokens, which will get passed into your form.

Hi Scott, 

 

I am aware of the URL Parameters to pre-fill form fields, but this is something different. Here is a Screenshot to show what i mean. 

 

When selecting the tick box of the document, i was wondering if i am able to use Java or anything to pre-fill the form with the Entry ID of the selected document. 

 

Some folders has a few thousand documents in them.

Thank you very much! This is great. Thought it would need some java scripting in the form.

Thank you for this response. It is helping us. What types of fields is this limited to? Can we pass a date field or a file URL?
