The following functions are available for use in the Winter 2006 Update and later releases. They can all be used with the following action types:
• Create Item Link
• Create List Item
• Modify List Item
• Publisher
When the [CurrentSiteTitle] function is utilized, it will return the title of the site from which the action is executed. This is often used with the [CurrentSiteURL] function.
When the [CurrentSiteURL] function is utilized, it will return the URL of the site from which the action is executed, without the protocol (the “http://” or “https://” portion). Because it does not return the protocol, it should not be used in a hyperlink field.
One example of how this function could be used is when you have created a new project site and want to have it reviewed. You could add the Action Selector to your new site and use it to execute a Create List Item action that references this new variable and sends it to a reviewing committee’s workplace inbox. The Create Item Link action references a specific list item. The [CurrentSiteURL] function lets you reference a site, instead.
This function returns a link to the display form of the selected list or library item, providing quick and easy access to view all available metadata for the item.
This function returns a link to the edit form of the selected list or library item, providing quick and easy access to modify any metadata for the item.
These functions have been available for use in CorasWorks roll-ups for some time. As of the Summer 2006 release, they are also available for use with actions to return the following information:
• [Me] – The user information for the currently logged in user
As of the Spring 2007 release, [me] can also be used when an Email Item Link action is either defined or executed. It can be used within any of these properties: Email To, Email Cross-Connect, Email Subject, Email Body
• [Date] – The current date when the list item is created or modified by the action
• [Time] – The current time when the list item is created or modified by the action
