Populate people template fields using EMSE

You can configure a licensed professional people template to allow public users to select options from a list populated from configurations between Civic Platform and an external web service, then published to the people template field. This is accomplished through EMSE (Event Manager and Script Engine) and available in the application intake process where people template fields are available, such as a contractor section.

This feature is particularly useful for agencies that require the most current information about State or County requirements in the drop-down list. For example, in Salt Lake County, every electrical contractor must have a signing supervisor associated with the electrical license application. When this feature is enabled, an electrical contractor can apply for an electrical license in the city of Sugarhouse and select the most current supervisor names in Salt Lake County. Civic Platform calls the Salt Lake County web service using an EMSE script to gather the supervisor name data, then pre-loads this data in a Supervisor field in the licensed professional form for contractor selection online.
