Forgive me if this is answered somewhere. I looked through the documentation and the examples, but cannot figure out how to show data from a case, archived or not, in an overview form. Could someone please suggest something? I tried /bonita/API/system/session/unused, because it was in one example. But it doesn’t show case data.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Phil

Can’t you use the Context to show the data?

`
../API/bpm/case/{id}/context
`

Just to clarify, by case data do you refer to “Business variables” or “Process variables”?

Thanks

Thanks, that worked. Don’t know why it didn’t work before, I must have done something wrong in my form.
