Below is a very simple example of a self service page that allows a case belonging to an authenticated visitor to be edited.

The ASP code is found below. The code is comment and discussed below.

" HREF=\"eware.css\">";
var Body="";
var EndBody="";
 
Response.Write(Head);
Response.Write(Body);
 
if (CRM.Authenticated)
{
 
if (CRM.Mode == View)
{
CRM.Mode = Edit;
}
//Uses Self Service User context to retrieve Person data.
var intRecordId = CRM.VisitorInfo("visi_personid");
var PersonRecord = CRM.FindRecord('person','pers_personid='+intRecordId);
var CaseRecord = CRM.CreateRecord("cases");

//Setting field values and workflow state
CaseRecord.case_primarypersonid= intRecordId;
CaseRecord.case_primarycompanyid= PersonRecord.pers_companyid;
CaseRecord.case_status= "In Progress";
CaseRecord.SetWorkflowInfo("Case Workflow", "Logged");
 
//Control and Setting Properties of Entry Blocks
var myBlock = CRM.GetBlock("sscaseentry");
//myBlock.Title = CRM.GetTrans("tabnames","cases");
var entryBlock = myBlock.GetEntry("case_problemnote");
var entryDescription = myBlock.AddEntry("case_description",1,false);
var entrySource = myBlock.AddEntry("case_source",-1,true);
var entryCustomerRef = myBlock.AddEntry("case_customerref",-1,true);
entryCustomerRef.NewLine = false;
 
var strHTML = myBlock.Execute(CaseRecord);
if (CRM.Mode == Save)
{
Response.Redirect("customcases.asp");
}
else
{
Response.Write(strHTML);
}
 
}
else
{
  Response.Redirect("customlogon.asp");
