1. Specify a developer form function name and any optional argument string (form function parameters) in the Default Value field of the form Attribute property page.

2. The default value must be entered using the following format:

	function_name:arg1=value1 arg2=value2 ...argN=valueN

The value of argN can be a text string enclosed in quotes (" ") or can be token substituted with another item type attribute in any of the following ways, where &item_attr represents the internal name of the item type attribute:

• argN="&item_attr"

• argN="Value &item_attr"

See: To Token Substitute an Attribute.

Note: If you are defining a message attribute of type Form, you can also include a special token in your argument string called &#NID which Oracle Workflow substitutes with the notification ID of the runtime notification.

3. If your form attribute contains an argument string, you must adhere to the following restrictions:

• You cannot token substitute the value of argN with another item attribute of type Document.

• You can token substitute the value of that argument string with another Form attribute or URL attribute, however, the argument string for the other attribute is not further token substituted.

4. By default, when a user chooses an attached form link in a notification, Oracle Applications displays a list of responsibilities assigned to that user that include that form. The user can then select the responsibility with which he or she wants to navigate to the form. When navigating from an e-mail notification, the user must also log into Oracle Applications before selecting a responsbility.

When you define a form attribute, you can optionally specify the responsibility through which you want users to access that form. In this case, users do not need to select a responsibility when they choose the attached form link; instead, they can navigate directly to the form. However, you must ensure that the users who receive the notification have the specified responsibility assigned to them. Otherwise they will not be able to access the form from that attached form link.

To specify a responsibility in the form attribute, append two special arguments in the argument string for the form function.

• #RESP_KEY - The responsibility key

• #APP_SHORT_NAME - The application short name for the responsibility

The value for each of these arguments can be a text string enclosed in quotes (" ") or can be token substituted with another item type attribute using the following format: "&ITEM_ATTR"

For example, the following form attribute value specifies that the Users form should be opened from the System Administration responsibility.

FND_FNDSCAUS:#RESP_KEY="SYSTEM_ADMINISTRATION" #APP_SHORT_NAME="SYSADMIN"

5. Choose OK when you are done.
