    responseXML = "";
    for each  productListItem in productList
    {
     rowVal = 0;
     url = "https://fsm.zoho.com/home#/tab/Requests/" + productListItem;
     responseXML = responseXML + "<row cnt='" + rowVal + "'><FL val='Request ID' link=\"true\" url=\"" + url + "\">" + productListItem + "</FL></row>";
