Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Webform Template |
Displays the webform template you entered. The email process uses this ID to match an inbound email to the parameters that you enter on this page. When you set up your external webform, be sure the email it generates includes this ID in the WEBFORM_TEMPL_ID tags. |
Default Category |
Select the category that the AMP rules engine uses to derive a rule and associated actions to apply to structured emails that are generated from this webform. This category is used if the webform is set to always use the default category to apply rules, or when PeopleSoft Search is unable to identify for an email a category with a threshold value that exceeds the category's confidence level. |
Always use Default Category to apply Rules |
Select for the system to always use the default category to identify associated AMP rules and performs actions of the rule on structured emails that are generated from this webform. |
Application Service Input type |
Select the format of the input that the email process passes to the application class. Rowset is normally the easiest format for application classes to work with. Other options are Custom and XMLDoc. |
Inbound Service Operation |
Select the message definition that controls the expected format of the XML in the email body and that is used when passing rowset data between the email process and the application class. |
Preview XML |
Click to view the inbound application message definition in XML. |
Clone Webform |
Click to access the Webform Saveas page to create a new webform using the current webform definition. |
Use the Identify E-mail Workspace Fields for Mapping page (RB_ERMS_FLDS) to specify email workspace fields that are used for mapping with webform fields.
