Extracting data from Web Viewer?

Buggen
in Web Viewer

Featured Replies

I've been playing around with this new function a little and I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to extract data from the web viewer window and put it into fields. For example, say I've got a table with about 50 records (or a lot more), each of which has a Fed Ex tracking number field. It's easy enough to have web viewer windows for each record to show the raw tracking data but I would like to be able to extract the pertinent data such as ship date, delivery date, signed for, etc., and automatically insert them into fields for clean reporting.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks!

yep. try the new GetLayoutObjectProperty("object";"content")

cjaeger, thanks for the quick reply but you've got me a little lost. That function doesn't come up as valid in a calculation field and I can't find any other calculation functions similar to it. Perhaps I'm missing something here. Can you elaborate a little?

Thanks!

See Help:

GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( objectName ; attributeName {; repetitionNumber ; portalRowNumber} )

Okay, that makes a little more sense to me. Now I just need to decide how to parse the results. Thanks for all the help.
