Imaging system use with Profound delivered screens

for a product such as "onbase" imaging we are interested in finding out if there's an easy way to allow that application to work with the profoundui rich displays.
OnBase (as I understand it) has a program called application enabler that reads html pages in one of two ways; ID based or by hierarchy.

ID Based - The application will find a field based off of a field ID (which in HTML must be unique). This is the easiest and best method because that field can move round depending on the screen. As long as the field ID is the same it will pull the value from wherever it is on the screen.

Hierarchy - With this approach, it finds the correct field by going to the location of the field base on where it is at in the hierarchy. This is a much less reliable approach because if anything on the page moves, it will pull the wrong field/information. Every time the screen changes, user rights change, a middle initial is added to a claimant name etc, the hierarchy changes.

Is it possible to add HTML IDs easily for these rich display files? http://www.onbase.com/en/product/onbase ... QGGZeH2ZRw

My understanding is that the "ids" are not available in the HTML that is produced by Profoudui Rich Display files (at least not as we are seeing).

I'm not familiar with OnBase at all.

Profound UI does generate HTML ids for every widget on the screen. You can modify the id names by changing the 'id' property of your widgets. This is a very important piece of the way things work, so you can bet those ids will always be there -- none of our code would work without them.

Can you explain why you say you are not seeing the ids?
