Sharepoint 2013 - Generate URL to take you to specific VIEW

Question

I have a sharepoint list for which (using infopath) I have developed two form "views", one for standard user access, and one that has more fields/info, for one of the workflow process role admins.

For certain automated workflow emails, I would like to have a link that takes them directly to the list item "in the selected form view" (either general user, or the admin form).

How might I construct such a URL for insertion into emails, depending upon recipients role in the workflow?

Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

Not sure my comment showed up that well, above. Here is the construction to build the URL to go to a specific (infopath generated) form, and open the form, with the specific list line item:

https://my.sharepoint.com/teams/mysite/mysubsite/Lists/mylist%20name/EditForm.aspx?DefaultView=Contract_Finalization&ID=34

Of course, I have to insert the ID. Contract_Finalization is the name of my form

Answer 2

Infopath supports query strings where the form is hosted on a page via an infopath web part. See this blog post for details, but the summary is that you'll have the infopath web part connected to a query string filter web part. You'll then need a rule to go to the appropriate screen based on the incoming value.
