Use String as an input field

Last Updated : Apr 30, 2015 |

If you select String for an input field, CMS does not check user inputs in that field for appropriate read permissions or valid parameters. If you want CMS to check permissions for a VDN input field, you must select the VDN field type. If you want CMS to check parameters for a VDN, login ID, extension, or call work code input field, you must select that field type, not String. In addition, if you select String for a field, the user will not be able to enter Dictionary names. So, again, if you want to let the user enter VDN, login ID, or call work code names to run a report, you must select that specific field type, not String.
