Executing web service prompts
Submit one or more transactions using one or more web services to execute the web service prompts.
To execute web service prompts:
- Create a web service prompt. See Defining web service prompts in the System Administrator's Guide.
- Associate the new web service prompt with a user group menu. See Setting up user groups in the System Administrator's Guide.
-
Select a
Web Service Prompt
screen. The system displays the screen in insert mode, based on the underlying
web service prompt field defined. The Web Service Prompt description displays
as the screen name. The system automatically populates
Field Label,
Field Type,
Display Type,
Query Code, and
Fixed Data.
Note: Each web service defined for the prompt displays in its own section. Each section contains a header containing the name of the web service for which the section is based, i.e., AddWorkOrder, AddActivity, DeletePart.
The system displays the prompt fields for each web service section header in ascending order by Sequence.
If a Query Code is defined for the prompt field, the system displays a lookup button for the field.
If the prompt field is Computed, the system uses the statement in Computed Data to populate the field value. These calculations are performed when the transaction is saved.
If the prompt field is a checkbox, the system displays a checkbox next to the Field Label.
If a Pattern Match is defined for a prompt field and you leave the field, the system ensures the value entered in the field matches the defined pattern.
If Use Previous Value is checked for a prompt field and insert mode is entered, the system automatically populates field values from the previous record for any fields that have Use Previous Value checked on the web service prompt.
- Enter values for the displayed prompt fields.
- Click Save. The system submits the entered data through the web services related to the prompt. Web Services are processed by the Web Service Prompt Engine in ascending order by Process Group.
