Attach Web dynpro screen shot to workflow email send task

[Tim Price]

Hello Mike,

Many thanks for your suggestions.

We have now decided to send an email to Lotus notes with a URL attached to it, when double clicked the user will need to log on and the WD will be displayed (we have the option to disable WD button and fluffy stuff) 

The URL has the work item id embedded in it, when double clicked the wf container is read and EHS Incident details are displayed.

That's the theory, however it doesn't work. If I double click on the item, the WD is displayed with no details populated and the log on prompt is not displayed.
If the URL is cut and pasted into the IE, the log on pad is requested and the EHS Incident WD is displayed as expected.

Is there something that I'm missing from the URL in the email, or does something need to be done in Lotus notes so that the link works.


Regards
Tim
