Hi Dojo,

I have a visual on my reservation service as shown below.

Now I want to create a script that can adapt some parameters on the encoder function. Therefore I need the Resource ID of that function. How can I get this in Visio?

Assuming you have an element linked to the resource, you can add the following in the Options shape data of the element shape: UseResource=True

Once you've done that, your element shape is now linked to the resource. Any child of that shape (and the shape itself of course) can then use the "Resource ID" info tag to link to its resource ID. This can be used in the Info shape data, but also in any dynamic shape data through the placeholder [Resource ID].

Hi Jens,

The following placeholder should do the trick:

[reservation:[this service],ResourceID|NodeID=1]

Where NodeID is replaced by the relevant ID of your node in your service definition.

Hi Ive, Problem is that I also have adhoc resources which don’t have a node ID.
