Adding hyperlink on a button when clicked

USDA · 06-16-2010

We are using V 7.6. I am opening a new metastorm process/form through a SharePoint link. When I click on the CANCEL button within the Metastorm form, a message is displayed asking ; "The web page you are viewing is trying to close the window. Do you want to close the window? Yes or No." When I click YES, the entire I.E. closes. When I click NO, I get a blank screen that is hung. Is there a way to add a custom url links to buttons that will place me back to the original web page when the CANCEL and/or SUBMIT button is clicked?

Yoed to be able to add a paramater to the URL something like "&OnSubmitURL=http://....&OnCancelURL=http://....

I can no longer find these in the 9.0.2 doco, bit I assume they still exist.

Just beware that CancelURL for external URLs was broken in SR3 and was fixed in hot fix 4

Once a Metastorm 7.6 process form (Metastorm Designer) has been launched through a link within SharePoint, I am able to click on the ‘CANCEL’ button and automatically link to the home web page. (this has been set up within an HTML script (see below). When set for the CANCEL button, it works fine, but, I cannot go to the main web page when I replace (OnCancelURL) with (OnCommitURL) or (OnSubmitURL). Is there another command that will be recognized so that my home page will be displayed when I click on the COMMIT button?
