Is it possible to create a URL to create a new WorkView Object?

[Mike_Van_Lente]

I would like to be able to create a URL that users would be able to click in order to be able to create a new WorkView object.  This would work similarly to filterPop or objectPop but instead of opening a specific filter or existing object it would open up a blank object of certain class and let the user create a new object.  Is there a way to use createObject.aspx in a URL to do this?  If this is not possible is there a way to add a create button to the filter window that a filterPop URL links to?

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello Mike,

This feature you're inquiring about is not available out of the box. I know of at least 1 way to do this using the Unity API - you can write a Web Service that'll create the Object then present it to the user via a generated ObjectPop link. You can refer to the Unity API SDK (only available if you're API Certified) on how to create WorkView Objects.

Hey Mike,

Have you considered creating an external unity form or e-form that posts and then maps to a workview object when processed in workflow?

That's assuming a few licenses, but seems like it should work unless you're looking for someone to create a complex workview object or one that has children/relationships/etc.

Just an idea as it seems you may still be looking.

Hey Jeremy,

This is actually what I ended up doing.  I am using workview to manage a vendor list so that when a user is filling out a unity form they can choose the vendor and then an external auto-fill, which queries the workvew database, populates the address and a couple other related keywords.  I wanted a way to be able to add to and update the vendor list without actually requiring the user to navigate to workview.  I ended up using the create workview object and update workview object workflow actions to do this.  The URL links were the first idea I had, but routing the form through workflow to create and update vendor records automatically is even simpler and does not require the user to directly interact with workview at all.

Thanks for the responses guys.
