Hi,

 

In IFS Apps 10, we had the ability to create custom menus that could call external URLs. These URLs could receive parameters from the page, and we could also use context substitution variables such as #DB_SID# or #USER#. For example, a URL might look like this:
http://<URL>/db_sid=#DB_SID#.

In the Cloud version, we can still call external URLs by creating a custom command button using the Page Designer. We can also continue to pass page parameters to the URL. However, as far as I know—and based on the documentation I’ve found—it seems that context substitution variables are no longer supported.

Does anyone know if there is a replacement for these context substitution variables in the Cloud version? Specifically, is there a way to pass environment-specific information (like the database SID or user ID) to the URL from the Page Designer?

Hi, 

Thank you for your message. At the moment, it’s not possible to use ‘Context Substitution Variables’ with navigation links. 

regards,

Tobias
