Access to system context

The new SystemContext system data dictionary gives letters in Correspondence Management access to information in the current system context. The system context comprises information about the currently-logged in user and active configuration parameters. In particular, the current implementation of the SystemContext DD contains the following DDEs:
  • agentID

  • agentName

  • agentFolder

  • agentSignatureImage

The new agentSignatureImage DDE is a computed DDE representing the user’s signature image. The expression for this computed DDE uses a new custom function exposed by the Expression Manager building block. This custom function takes agentID and agentFolder as input parameters and fetches the image content based on these parameters.

The value of agentFolder is taken from the CMUserRoot configuration parameter for the Asset Composer configuration service. You can change the value of the CMUserRoot configuration parameter using the Felix configuration UI. By default this configuration parameter points to /content/cmUserRoot in the CRX repository.

You can override the default custom function to define your own logic for fetching the user signature image.
