Entering a link to the form via email

Data Entry Forms are routed by the workflow engine for comment and/or approval.  Additionally, the workflow engine may simply send a notification email to one or more individuals with a link to a Data Entry Form.  The link is generally constructed using General tags, as follows:

<a href="{%SITEURL%}/[path to handler]/dataentry.asp?S={%V4%}">[display text]</a>

Example:

<a href="{%SITEURL%}/esi/mie/pages/dataentry.asp?S={%V4%}"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>{%V6%} - {%V7%}</b></font></a>

 

In the example above, {%SITEURL%} will be filled in with the root URL specification to get to the MIE, {%V4%} will be filled in with the encrypted query string for the Data Entry Form and the specific record to edit, {%V6%} will be filled in with the identifying number of the record, and {%V7%} will be filled in with the identifying description.
