How can I use Document Set description field in a SharePoint workflow

We bundle together related documents into a Document Set and then route the Document Set for approval using a Sharepoint 2010 workflow.  Within the workflow, we are also sending an email to each approver, and an email to a manager if items become past
due.  I have been asked if I can add the Description field from the Document Set to the email text.
I am familiar with the use of the "Add or Change Lookup" control to insert fields into the email text.
For example: Data Source "Current Item" with field "Title" becomes
[%Current Item:Title%].
The problem is that I can't find a data source that will pull in the Document Set description.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use Document Set description field in a SharePoint workflow.
I recommend to modify the view to display the description field.
If you add the description, it will display the value.
Then you can create workflow as below:
Thanks,

  • How can i use row set iterator to create multiple dummy detail rows upfront

    Hello i am new to ADF and jdeveloper and have a Forms 9i/PLSQL background.
    I have a 1 to many master to detail view link and 2 vo's one for each of the master and detail table.
    I am trying unsuccsessfully to create 7 unique detail rows up front to populate at a later stage.
    I have created a master record with primary key being staff number and week ending date.
    i then use code below to try and create 7 detail records - P.S i have trimmed it to the first 2 for demonstration.
    I am using
    RowSetIterator rsi = this.mydetailVO.getRowSetIterator();
    Row newRow1=rsi.createRow();
    newRow1.setAttribute("Staff Num","123456A");
    newRow1.setAttribute("Week_Ending_Date", "2010-01-01");
    newRow1.setAttribute("Claim_Date", "2010-01-01");
    newRow1.setAttribute("Day", "Sun");
    rsi.insertRow(newRow1);
    Row newRow2=rsi.createRow();
    newRow2.setAttribute("Staff Num","123456A");
    newRow2.setAttribute("Week_Ending_Date", "2010-01-01");
    newRow2.setAttribute("Claim_Date", "2010-01-02");
    newRow2.setAttribute("Day", "Sat");
    rsi.insertRow(newRow2);
    However it does create two rows but it always writes over the first row with the details of the second row so they are not unique.
    How can i get a new unique row inserted with different details to the firat and how then do i access it uniquely.
    Thanks

    John thanks for reply.
    I have tried the following and still i get 2 rows created but the first one gets overwritten with the last one. I'm confused as to why the inbuilt insert row doesnt move it on to the next available row. Any idea what i'm not doing in between inserting rows?
    ViewObject vo1 = this.getmyVO1();
    vo1.executeQuery();
    Row newRow1 = vo1.createRow();
    newRow1.setAttribute("Staff Number","123456A");
    newRow1.setAttribute("Week_end_date", "2010-04-04");
    newRow1.setAttribute("Date", "2010-04-01");
    newRow1.setAttribute("Day", "Sun");
    vo1.insertRow(newRow1);
    Row newRow2 = vo1.createRow();
    newRow2.setAttribute("Staff Number","123456A");
    newRow2.setAttribute("Week_end_date", "2010-04-04");
    newRow2.setAttribute("Date", "2010-04-03");
    newRow2.setAttribute("Day", "Sat");
    vo1.insertRow(newRow2);
    P.S Yes they are dates but i made them strings for the time being until i get this working thanks for noticing.

  • How can I use documents created in Pages 08 with the most current version of pages?

    I just upgraded to the most current version of Pages from Pages 08.  However, none of my files created with Pages 08 will open.  I am told that I first need to save them with Pages 09, but I don't have Pages 09.  What can I do to convert these files into a format that works with the newest Pages?

    I have the same problem. There are a couple of clumsy workarounds. One is to open your file with Pages 08 and export it as a Word document, then import it into Pages 5. The second one is to open the file in Pages 08, copy the contents to the clipboard and paste it into Pages 5.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to you want to get document set property value in a SharePoint library and then export into a CSV file using PowerShell.
    I suggest you can get the document sets properties like the PowerShell Command below:
    [system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint")
    $siteurl="http://sp2013sps/sites/test"
    $listname="Documents"
    $mysite=new-object microsoft.sharepoint.spsite($siteurl)
    $myweb=$mysite.openweb()
    $list=$myweb.lists[$listname]
    foreach($item in $list.items)
    if($item.contenttype.name -eq "Document Set")
    if($item.folder.itemcount -eq 0)
    write-host $item.title
    Then you can use Export-Csv PowerShell Command to export to a CSV file.

    I’m pretty sure Adobe NEVER intended for someone to copy an XMP file from one photo to another outside of LR as a way to replicate settings.   You can make a preset from a photo, as discussed, or if you don’t want to do that, copy-paste the settings from a representative photo that you initially select to one or more new photos.  You could have a special LR folder that holds standard photos to copy/paste from.  Of course creating a Develop preset from the representative photo is the “normal” way to handle such situations, but maybe you have hundreds of different situations to copy settings from and don’t want to create presets for each one, but I’d argue that you could create a complex folder hierarchy for your presets and still have them findable without that much problem.
    As far as the mystery about why some photos show Reset and some show From Metadata, is the Process Version (down in Camera Calibration) of the photo before reading the settings the same between the two situations?  And in general, are these virgin photos newly imported into LR or have some been modified in LR, already?  Does an XMP file already exist for any of these, where that XMP is being overwritten by your external-to-LR copying?  Or do you have auto-write-XMP enabled and your hand-copied XMP is getting overwritten by LR, automatically, before you have a chance to read in anything?

  • How can I use a subsummary field in a calcultaion field in a database ???

    how can I use a subsummary field in a calcultaion field in a database???? I need to use the average I get in my sorted records to make another calculation. Can this be done???
    powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Calculation fields work with data that is contained in a single record.
    Summary fields use data from the same field(s) in a range of records.
    Summary field results can't be used in further calculations.
    You may be able to define a summary field to include the average AND the further calculation that you need, but only if you do not want the results to be placed into a particular record or records.
    A detailed description of the data you want to use and the result you want to achieve might lead to some ideas on whether it can be done, and how to do it.

    I will address your second question.
    First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs.  If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option.  Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone.

  • How can I use more lines to show a field of a row in a report?

    How can I use more lines to show a field of a row in a report? Table A have two columns: (c1 number(5),c2 varchar2(1000)).When I show the table on a report,the column c2 show itself in one row.So the width of html page is very wide.How can I split the field c2 to many lines?
    Thanks for any help.

    I was wondering if an answer was found for this one.
    I have the same problem using the default "Look 4" template for the region. I have found in the CSS file where it is defined and it specifies "nowrap" in the style, which is why the long value is not being split over multiple lines.
    So, my question is, without modifying or creating templates, is there a way to override the "nowrap" attribute from within the item definition? e.g. in the Column Attributes.Column Formatting.CSS Style field. I had some success changing the display properties, such as background colour and font size but I can't seen to override the nowrap attribute!
