urlwithparameters() Function

Function

urlwithparameters( path, parameterNames, parameterValues )

This function allows you to build a URL from an expression, using arrays of process and constant data.

Keyword	Type	Description
`path`	Text	The URL path. This can be a fully qualified path or a relative path. The path will not be encoded as it is the responsibility of the designer to provide a valid path.
`parameterNames`	Text Array	The parameters to append to the URL.
`parameterValues`	Text Array	The parameter values corresponding to the parameter names to append to the URL.

Textpath (Text)

Only arrays are accepted for the 2nd and 3rd parameters.

Arrays must be enclosed in curly brackets {}.

Parameter names are encoded to form a valid URL. For example, spaces are replaced with "%20".

The return value is a fully qualified or relative URL path that is not encoded or validated.

You can copy and paste these examples into the Expression Rule Designer to see how this works.

"<a href=" & urlwithparameters("/tio/viewPayments.do", {"claimNumber"}, {pv!claimNumber}) & ">View Payments</a>" returns View Payments
