how to pass #person_id# in URL?

hi, 

i’m as well looking for the #DB_SID# context parameters we had in IFS10 to pass in the custom menu url, but i’m not getting anywhere.

Somebody knows the solution please ?

the requirement was on Cloud version, would like to provide a URL to end user, once they click the URL, they can go to below screen and see just the approvals that belong to him or his group.

Hi ​@lion,

Please try the below URL;

https://cnxiaifsdevmid01.bugaboo.int/main/ifsapplications/web/page/Approvals/List?$filter=PersonId eq #PERSON_ID#
 

• Replaced ; with ?
• Removed ‘ ‘ in #PERSON_ID#

Thanks,

Hi Sdhalk,

thanks for the info, I try it but get all the approvals include the ‘approver’ not belong to me. any idea?

#PERSON_ID# doens’t get substituted in IFS Cloud .. is there something like ${Person} ?

Hi ​@filiep.vw,

It's $[PLACEHOLDER], and this syntax is used to pass data values.

Ex: filter=OrderNo eq $[ORDER_NO]

Thanks,

hi, thanks for your suggestions, I have try but still failed,  #PERSON_ID# should be a global context field, if I put it in ‘approvals’ saved search, it can work, but if copy the saved search link and parse in edge, it can’t work. why?

Here is how I solved this issue.

Create a page parameter for PersonId in the lobby, make sure the default value is #PERSON_ID#.

In the lobby element make sure use datasource condition is enabled and make sure a simple link is added to the URL eg page/PurchaseOrders/List

In the datasource where clause make sure the Person_ID field = ‘$PersonId$’ parameter.

Now when users navigate from the lobby element to the required page the results will be filtered down to records that match their person Id.
