Find which custom UI is being used and pass into form

[JoelHH]

Hello,

I have a couple different UI's being used.  I was wondering if it is possible to figure out which UI is being used in the form, either by a call from the form itself using reader extensions or by passing information into the form through a custom render. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

What do you mean by UI?

Different forms? Different Workspace? Different web pages?

Workspace UI's.

Thanks.

If you have different UIs, I'm assuming they have different urls.

If the form is rendered from an input xfaForm or DocumentForm variable using a Render service, you can get that url from the Custom Configuration->TargetUrl value that is passed to the render service.

Both of the UIs are on the same server.  When I pull the TargetURL value, I get the same result (http://<server>/workspace-server/submit). Please let me know any other ideas you have.

Thanks.

Ok, maybe you can use the Custom Configuration -> httpheader to get the info.

This is what I get after base64 decoding it:

I know it's not pretty but that might work.

How do you do a base64 decode of the httpheader?  As long as I can get information on which UI is being loaded I don't mind having to do a little digging to get it

[Jasmin_Charbonn]

Right now I just used a web site to decode the string.

You could create a custom component or the script service and use some java code to do it through code.

We don't have a decode built in LiveCycle.

I checked by using an online web site and this does show the custom workspace URL.  I'm going to create a script that will base 64 decode and then pull the UI name.  Thank you for your help Jasmin!
