accessing Site object

Is it possible to access the Essentials Site object in a workflow, like we are able to in a Flex application?

The problem I'm trying to resolve is the fact that the HTML5 viewer doesn't seem to deal with allowing you to enter and email address (for async printing) or any additional text fields (it only displays _Notes and _Title) that I have configured.  What I was hoping to do is to use the Site object to drill down to the print template, find out the published fields and then build my own form for printing.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  Peter,

   

  Bit of a long shot, but were you able to figure out how to access the site object in a workflow?

   

  If not, does anyone know how it can be accessed?

   

  Thanks

  Hello Halil,  

   

  As per my email to you, I passed this question along to one of our support staff for their review and found the following; It is not possible to access the site object from a workflow. 

   

  However, you may be to use the 'Get Layer Info By Property' activity to meet your needs. This activity doesn't make a Site object, but can return the layers from the maps in the site. 

   

  Hope this helps!

  You could access print template information with a Web Request activity to

   

  http://servername/Geocortex/Essentials/instancename/REST/sites/yoursitename/printtemplates/0?f=pjson

   

  You have to parse the resulting JSON to get the info you want.
