query

Example:

[Title]==@[titleNum]

  • [Title] = a SharePoint field
  • == is the operator (equals in this case)
  • @[titleNum] = reference to a form field

NOTE: The syntax for this requires that the form field should not be an XPath.

site

The site on which the target list resides.

title

The value to put into the SharePoint Title field for new list items.

un

The username to use in connecting to the SharePoint site.

Example

  • domain – ACME
  • list – Summary List
  • onmultiple – first
  • operation – update
  • password – sharevis
  • query – [Title] == @[FormTitle]
  • site – http://server2.acme.com/Summary
  • title – [FormTitle]
  • un – svadmin

This example will query the list Summary Liston the sitehttp://server2.acme.com/Summary. It will retrieve all items that have the Title field set to the same value as the FormTitle field in the current list item.  On the first item that comes back from the query, it will update the commonly-named column values in the current list and the Summary List.  The user credentials to access the site will be as shown.
