Hi Everyone,
I have created a custom form using the CASE tool with two key fields - company and employee. The company is always 0001 and I can get the employee from the user profile:
var vEmployee = portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute("employee")
I am setting up this form so that when a user logs into the form, the company and the user's employee number are pre-populated in the key fields. I have made these fields output-only, so the user cannot perform an inquiry or update any other user's data.
My question is this - how can I have this form perform an inquiry upon initialization (OnInit) using the pre-populated the key fields so all of the rest of the fields on the screen are populated without the user having to hit the inquire button?
Thank you for your help!

Include the command: lawformDoFunction("I")
That will peform the inquire.

Or, Select Inquire under 'Initial Form action' in Custom (form properties)

KK - I thought of that too but I wasn't sure if that occured before or after the On Init script. Have you done this before?

Also, if you take the Inquire option off from the allowed functions, can you use it as the form initial action?

Hi David & KK - thank you both very much for your help. The info on David's first reply (lawformDoFunction("I")) did the trick. Thank you!
