query

Example:

[Title]==@[titleNum]

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

site

title

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

un

Example

  • domain – ACME

  • 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.
