Form Utils Methods

Overview

The SharinPix package provides the Apex class, FormUtils , which are utility methods for use for the Form Feature.

The Form Utils methods include:

• generateToken: Generate form token

• generateUrl / generateOnlineUrl: Generate form URL

• exportFormResponseAsContentDocument

• exportFormResponseAsContentDocument (with options)

Prerequisites:

• The SharinPix Package with version 1.375 (or above) should be installed; refer to the article below to upgrade your current package: How to upgrade SharinPix package

• The SharinPix Forms Admin or SharinPix Forms User permission set should be assigned to users using the form utils methods. For more information on these two permission sets, check SharinPix Permission Sets.

Form Utils Methods Example

generateToken

global static StringgenerateToken(String recordId , String templateId , Map<String, Object> options)

• This method generates a SharinPix Form Token with specific abilities. Below is a detailed description of each parameter:

  • recordId (String) The unique identifier of the record associated with the form. This parameter specifies which record the generated token will be linked to. For example, if the form pertains to a specific account or case, you would pass that record's ID here.

  • templateId (String) The identifier of the form template to be used for token generation. Ensure the templateId corresponds to the desired form template in your system.

  • options (Map <String, Object>) A key-value map that provides additional configuration options to customize the form's behavior. This parameter is optional and allows flexibility in defining extra settings. Common examples include:

    • nameFieldApiName : Specifies the API name of the field used to display a recognizable name for the form (e.g., a contact’s name or an opportunity title).

    • formExpiry : Defines the expiration date or duration for the form's validity. The formExpiry takes a number as value indicating the number of days after which the form will expire.

    Map<string, object> options = new Map<string, object> {
         'nameFieldApiName' => 'WorkOrderNumber',
         'formExpiry' => 8
    };
    
    String token = sharinpix.FormUtils.generateToken('0018a00001rL2scAAC', 'a0Ral000007iSvpEAE', options);

generateUrl / generateOnlineUrl

global static StringgenerateUrl(String recordId , String templateId , Map<String, Object> options)

global static StringgenerateOnlineUrl(String recordId , String templateId , Map<String, Object> options)

These methods generate a SharinPix Form URL (Universal Link) for a specific form template. Both methods work the same way, with only one difference:

generateUrl	Opens the form in the SharinPix Mobile App
generateOnlineUrl	Opens the form in a Web Browser

Below is a detailed description of each parameter:

• recordId (String) The unique identifier of the record associated with the form. This parameter specifies which record the generated token will be linked to. For example, if the form pertains to a specific account or case, you would pass that record's ID here.

• templateId (String) The identifier of the form template to be used for token generation. Ensure the templateId corresponds to the desired form template in your system.

• options (Map <String, Object>) A key-value map that provides additional configuration options to customize the form's behavior. This parameter is optional and allows flexibility in defining extra settings. Common examples include:

  • nameFieldApiName : Specifies the API name of the field used to display a recognizable name for the form (e.g., a contact’s name or an opportunity title).

  • formExpiry : Defines the expiration date or duration for the form's validity. The formExpiry takes a number as value indicating the number of days after which the form will expire.

    Map<String, Object> options = new Map<String, Object>{
        'nameFieldApiName' => 'WorkOrderNumber',
        'formExpiry' => 8
    };
    
    String mobileUrl = sharinpix.FormUtils.generateUrl('0018a00001rL2scAAC', 'a0Ral000007iSvpEAE', options);
    String browserUrl = sharinpix.FormUtils.generateOnlineUrl('0018a00001rL2scAAC', 'a0Ral000007iSvpEAE', options);

exportFormResponseAsContentDocument

global static voidexportFormResponseAsContentDocument(String formResponsePublicId , String recordId)

This method exports a SharinPix Form Response PDF as a Salesforce ContentDocument , attaching it to a specified record.

Parameters:

• formResponsePublicId (String) The public identifier of the SharinPix Form Response to export.

• recordId (String) The Salesforce record ID to which the generated ContentDocument will be linked. This is typically the record (e.g., an Account, Case, or Work Order) that the form response pertains to.

    sharinpix.FormUtils.exportFormResponseAsContentDocument(
        '01995896-6708-74dd-9d0d-cd962ba16a8df',
        '0018a00001rL2scAAC'
    );

exportFormResponseAsContentDocument (with options)

global static voidexportFormResponseAsContentDocument(String formResponsePublicId , String recordId, Map<String, Object> options)

This method works like the previous one, but allows additional export configuration options , such as specifying a filename for the exported PDF. It still exports the SharinPix Form Response as a Salesforce ContentDocument and links it to the specified record.

Parameters

• formResponsePublicId (String) The public identifier of the SharinPix Form Response to export.

• recordId (String) The Salesforce record ID to which the generated ContentDocument will be linked.

• options (Map <String, Object>) A key-value map allowing you to customize the export behavior.

    Map<String, Object> options = new Map<String, Object>{
        'filename' => 'FR0001'
    };
    
    sharinpix.FormUtils.exportFormResponseAsContentDocument(
        '01995896-6708-74dd-9d0d-cd962ba16a8df',
        '0018a00001rL2scAAC',
         options
    );
