#Record Identifer , identifiers for Process Backed Records
Reading this link forum.appian.com/.../Records_Tutorial
shows how to create identifiers with Source Type Rule and use identifiers.
How can we use Source Type Process Model and use Tags and keep identifiers , any detailed explanation of this.
1. Have a process model based record
2. In the news i currently post the link to record which is a big url.
3. I want to use record tags instead of that big link in the news.
4. to use a!toRecordIdentifier , the 2nd argument seems identifiers which are specified in the Record Type.
Thanks...

Are you trying to let the users click the tag to get to the dashboard? I have gotten to use the tags yet so I'm a little unfamiliar with their behavior.
Have you tried putting the link under "More Info" on the message? That's what I use and it works well. I've attached a screenshot (with redacted data of course) showing the info pane collapsed and expanded to illustrate.

Thanks james, I had the link like that already, but its quite long link right. I was suggested to use Record TAGS in news feature. but i see the tutorial only for Rule record type, and i have process model based record.

Create a constant that points to your process backed record. In the post event node input for the record tag, try this:
=a!toRecordIdentifier(
recordType: cons!MY_RECORD_TYPE,
identifier: pp!id
)

I just tried this out and it's pretty cool. Much cleaner than a big ugly link. I should look back over the 7.4 notes for other goodies I missed
