Issue:

 

I have a view with forms. For two business reasons I cannot fully overhall the application to have one form and one xpage for one document.

 

The issue is that there are two web interfaces, one with a non oneui gui and another that is for staff. Historically I could have just one form say "WP" with different sets of fields for the web and notes users with each form hidden from either the Notes Client or the web. In another case, I create with one form, and then turn it into another document form upon staff edit. (think a quote request turning into an order). The result is that we have a mixed bag of very related documents in a single view which use as many as 5 different forms. (which should stay together as it makes sense to keep them all together in one view).

 

Obviously I could make a separate view for each form and then do the hardcoded option but that's just awful and clunky.

 

I don't have the liberty (unlimited time, mandate, and budget) to start over and create a one-to-one mapping of form to XPage for all users to share one interface. So I CANNOT use the property/option in the for the field "at runtime, open selected document using"--> "XPage associated with the document's form".

 

I need something (aka code) that says:

if the current document's rowdata.field.form = "wp", then use xpage: xWP

if the rowdata.field.form = "wq", then use xpage: xWQ

if the rowdata.field.form = "wl", then use the xpage: xWL.

... etc....

 

However, I haven't found anything (aka code) I write yet that will do that readily without actually abandoning this field and hacking in manual URLs in a view column instead. I'd much rather work "with the product" if I can simply click the make column a link checkbox and write some computed code for this field instead. 

 

Has anyone done this yet? It seems like it would be very simple if I just figured out what the "hook" is.

 

Thanks,

Tripp
