When a user goes to their Tasks and selects one, they get a URL similar to the following:

/Forms/form/approval/17eaed49-f97c-44e4-9063-42cba979f1e3/1/MyTasks?rHash=%3Fbpid%3D0%26so%3D0%26gb%3Dstarttime%26x%3D1

Where does the value 17eaed49-f97c-44e4-9063-42cba979f1e3 come from?

It is the resume_id that represents a form in a specific step of an instance. You can find the value from the cf_bp_worker_instnc_to_resume table in the forms Database.

I'm guessing there isn't any value in the string that relates to the BP it belongs to?

Yes, the string does not directly relate to the BP Instance, but with the functionality of forms with workflow, many things are possible still. What type of customization were you hoping for? Maybe their is a way to get what you want that you have not yet thought of

We use a piece of software called Affinity. It is able to pull data from a webpage (not using screen scraping) and then we can create tokens from that information to perform searches in Laserfiche. By default, it looks at the URL of the page being configured. Since there is no way to distinguish what form is being filled out using the URL we will have to try some other options.

I am familiar with that software but not it's full capabilities. Can you pull from fields that are hidden? You could make a field (maybe hide it as well) and have it's default value be the BP Instance ID. That's fairly easy from the 9.1 version of Forms.

We will be using a CDH to detect which form it is by looking at the form name.
