JobRouter offers the possibility to call user steps via a public start URL without having to log into the system. With this option, e.g. forms are integrated into the Intranet, after which a process is initiated.
Check the Allow external process initiation option on the Advanced tab in the step properties of a start step to enable the external process initiation function. Then, the external process initiation URL can be found in the Step URL field.
External process initiation start steps always have to be executed by a user. Therefore, you have to attach the username to the URL of the user who should execute the step. This is done using the username parameter.
Example:
http://meinserver/jobrouter/index.php?cmd=PublicStart&ps=44fa8cec7a096edd2bedc861709146b8&username=publicUser
Use this URL to open a step even if a user is not logged into JobRouter. After sending the step, the user receives a message that the step has been successfully sent.
Filling form fields specifically
It is possible to fill fields of the form specifically via URL parameters. To do this, you add a parameter with the name of the field to the URL for each field that you want to assign with a value and pass the value to this parameter.
Example:
http://meinserver/jobrouter/index.php?cmd=PublicStart&ps=44fa8cec7a096edd2bedc861709146b8&username=publicUser&category=Ticket
