URL Overrides

This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.

Request parameters can be used to override the attributes of a view element. They can also override elements of a view descriptor before the view is rendered.

In Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5 or later browsers where the form renderer does not generate the view, the request parameters must be inserted into the appropriate attribute of the HTML view element. All attributes must be inserted regardless of HTML tag support for the parameter. This enables URL overrides to be used in all views.

When a URL override is specified, it must appear as the default value of the corresponding view attribute exposed through the Exchange store Form object.

The parameters use the following naming format:

<valid parameter override> ::= <view prefix><attribute assigment>
<view prefix> ::= "view." <view id> "."

Note  This syntax permits any number of views within the form to be overridden.

Example of URL Overrides

The following is an example of a form with a view called workitems. The returned records are filtered by those assigned to someone and are sorted by importance.

https://servername/myfolder/myitem?view.workitems.filterappend=assignedto='someone'& view.workitems.sort=importance;ASC

The following example shows a search for records where the content class is not a document. There are single quotation marks on string value and the not-equals syntax is used.

"DAV:ishidden" = false AND "DAV:isfolder" = false and "DAV:contentclass" != 'urn:content-classes:document'

The following example shows that the last-modified date is after May 23.

"DAV:ishidden" = false AND "DAV:isfolder" = false AND "DAV:getlastmodified" &gt; '2000-05-23'

The following example shows the subject beginning with the letter n.

"DAV:ishidden" = false AND "DAV:isfolder" = false AND "urn:schemas:httpmail:subject" LIKE 'n%'
