Passing extra information from External Source to Service Form URL in newScale
Is it possible to pass additional information (e.g. in form of QueryString) to a Serivce Form URL and then to use that passed information on the service form to populate a particular field on the service form ?
Thanks,
Mihir

JS can parse window.location URL, so yes but its a workaround.
Why do you need this? What version?

Thanks Emir, window.location sounds a good idea!
Scenraio is: We have an external application from which our customers access newScale by clicking on the direct URL to a newScale Service form.
Requirement is: Our customers will append some more information to this newScale URL and newScale will parse this URL, retrieve the appended information and populate a field on the newScale form with this parsed nformation. We are on version 2006.0.8.

I found that window.location works however the pages need to be on the same server otherwise due to security constraints it will not pass data across.

I think in 2008 there are better ways of doing this
