Open and Manage Forms Using Plugins

You can open Oracle Fusion Field Service forms directly from custom plugins by using the Plugin API close method. Plugins can target activity, inventory, or resource forms; prefill form fields; restore drafts; and open submitted forms. This reduces custom UI work and speeds up changes to mobile worker workflows.

To open a form, set backScreen to "open_form" and pass the context that the form needs. If the form opens but the form content does not appear, include the resource ID along with the activity ID when the form requires resource context.

You can use the following parameters with the Plugin API close method::

Parameters	Description	Notes
backScreen	Page to return to	Must always be "open_form".
backFormLabel	Label of the form to open	Required when targeting a specific form.
backActivityID	Activity ID if opening the form for a specific activity	Use when context is an activity.
backInventoryID	Inventory ID if opening the form for a specific inventory	Use when context is an inventory.
backResourceID	Resource ID if opening the form for a specific resource	Use when context is a resource.
backFormParams	Key-value pairs to pre-fill form fields	Used to pre-populate form inputs.

For example, when opening an activity form that also requires resource context, include both the activity ID and the resource ID:

({
            "apiVersion": 1,
            "method": "close",
            "backScreen": "open_form",
            "backFormLabel": formLabel,
            "backActivityID": "XXXXX1",
            "backResourceID": "YYYYY8"
            });
