Configuring Pre-Filling Services

The scenario of the tutorial requires that the employee's details are retrieved and filled in the form during the first step of the process. For this purpose, you design a callable object for background execution that serves as a pre-filling service for the composite form object. You use the Read User Information predefined callable object, which retrieves user information based on a unique user ID, name or logon ID.

1. In the GP design time, choose Create Callable Object.
2. Supply the following basic data:
   • Type - from the Type list, select User Management  → Read User Information
   • Name - Read User Info
   • Description - Retrieves details of current user
   • Original Language - for example, English
   • Folder - select the folder of the tutorial, for example, My First Composite Form
3. You do not need to make changes to the input and output parameters defined for the object.
4. On the Configuration screen, select Current User from the Resolution Mode dropdown box.

   The current user is the processor of the current action and will be defined at runtime.

5. On the Finish screen, choose Finish and Open.

   The object's design time opens.

6. Activate the object.
