Ah I see...then you are right. No added identification is needed if there is a incident tied to that survey with a Customer identified there.

That is what prompted my initial question of why they needed further validation of that user's identity.

Most of the time people dont even fill out a survey so there may not be many to sift through that are submitted in say a month. But for the people that took the time to fill out the survey and indicated that they were quite unsatisfied with the service provided, it might be helpful for management to contact that person directly and find out exactly where things went wrong and assure them that they will rectify the problems they experienced so that any future services that they request will go much smoother. I know that if I switch to say a different internet provider or new cable provider at home and I experience all kinds of issues, if I took the time to fill a survey out indicating how dissatisfied I was with the service and if I elected to get a callback then I may like the personal attention that cable provider or internet provider gave me to hear about my experience and what they are going to do to rectify the issue for the future.

Your management, for some unexplained reason, wants to know who is filling out the surveys. You are trying to satisfy that requirement technically. I am trying to address it from a business perspective, and that almost always starts with the question "Why?". The only reason I can guess for that is that they want to be sure that the person filling it out is the person to whom it was directed. Let's look at three factors in that. * How valuable is knowing who actually filled out the survey, from a practical standpoint? What will be done with those metrics, if anything? * What are the chances of accidental misuse? * Since the surveys are only sent to the person who is supposed to have them, making it pretty difficult for User2 to even know that a survey is available for User1. It would be MORE work for someone to try to answer someone else's survey than to just do the ones they get sent, and most people don't even fill THOSE out. So practically speaking, there is very little chance of an accidental misuse of the survey. * What is the likelihood of intentional misuse? * Are they concerned that there will be an epidemic of people taking surveys for other people? Do they think their people have so little to do that they will spend even free time spoofing other users to fill out their surveys? If so, they have a bigger problem than satisfying this requirement could possibly address. So the likelihood of intentional misuse is again, effectively zero. So my analysis is that what they might gain by the satisfaction of this requirement seems insignificant compared to the work of satisfying it. I fail to see ANY worthwhile business justification for this requirement, and in the absence of same, as a developer, I would reject it for that reason alone until it is better thought through by the business leaders.

A surver-user with a restricted read license is created for this purpose which allows multiple people from multiple locations to submit the survey. 3) There is a submit button on this survey form. 4) When the user clicks on submit button, it is required that, his Windows User ID be captured in one of the fields. _______________________________ Solutions implemented that did not work: 1) Create a little Java function in a .jsp file and put it in your "shared" folder on your Midtier: Name the file something like /arsys/shared/get_remote_user.jsp. get_remote_user.jsp contains: function env_ip_var() { var return_value = "<%=request.getRemoteUser()%>"; return (return_value) } In the Web Header content of the form you want to capture this on, add... <SCRIPT src="/arsys/shared/get_remote_user.jsp" language="JavaScript"></SCRIPT> To set a field with the data from the JavaScript functions do the following in an active link... Run Process Command Line: javascript:window.F(XXXXXXXX).DoSet(env_hostname()); Be sure to change XXXXXXXX with the field ID of the field you want to set. This did not work, function env_ip_var returns null. ____________________________________________ Solution 2: A set fields actions in an active link: $PROCESS$ CMD /C "set username" This worked only in user tool. However this functionality is required for web. ___________________________________________ If you have any other ideas, please do share.
