Using external values in your forms

DemoLoading default values from SQL Server:

Load selected product’s inventory

When selecting a product, I want to load it’s current inventory from

SQL Server

This is the Inventory table from which we want to take the remaining

inventory for the selected product

In the “Orders” list we select the “Dynamic default values” menu

Click to select an external value

Select an external value from the external values repository

Click the relevant external value (that someone has already

prepared)

External value = Function with parameters

You can pass current item’s column value by using square brackets []

Click “validate” to make sure parameter types match

Now you can click “OK” to select this external value

Now you see the selected external value

Click to add this default value

Rendered as R/O label

Default values is loaded from SQL Server when

selecting a product

DemoUsing an external value in field constraints:Make sure order amount doesn’t exceed existing inventory

Let’s validate that the ordered quantity does not

exceed the remaining inventory

Creating and managing external values

Click to get to the external values

management page

Click to edit an external value

Click to add a new external value

Type any custom web url

Or, use a built-in serivce

DemoUse existing service:

Update product’s remaining inventory in SQL Server when saving order

When saving the order we want to subtract the ordered quantity from the product’s remaining inventory.

Use the SQL service with an UPDATE SQL sentence

Command=UPDATE Inventory SET AvailableQty=AvailableQty-'[quantity]' WHERE ProductID='[ProductID]'

Create an external value called “UpdateInventory”

We need to set-up 2 field-constraint rules

1

Verify that ordered quantity is less than available inventory

We need to set-up 2 field-constraint rules

2

This is a dummy constraint (will never fail), conditionally run if ordered quantity is less than

inventory.The rule uses the external value

that executes the database update.

DemoUse custom web url:

Load user details from SharePoint profile service by using custom ASP.NET page

We want to load agent’s details from the SharePoint Profile

service

We have created an external value that uses a custom ASPX page that

gets a requested property from the profile shervice

This is our custom ASPX page
