How to get person picker field to return as email instead of a string when emailing in a workflow?

Hi, I have 3 person fields in Infopath 2013 form.  In the Form Option, Property Promotion, each of these people picker field, i selected the DisplayName,
give it a column name and selected the Merge under Function.  
In the workflow I created for this form.  Depending on selection from a radio button and a dropdown controls, I would email to one or 2 of the people selected
from the people picker controls mentioned above.  
In the Email To field, I select "Workflow Lookup for a User", select the field that I promoted (mentioned above), but the "Return field as"
field is grey out, disabled. It doesn't allow the option to return as an email. I suspect it's because the 3 properties were promoted as concatenated string?  
Now when my workflow is run, the workflow is immediately canceled.  I suspect it's the problem with the email field.  How can I promote a Person Picker
field so it will return a email address when I use it in the email to user function in workflow?
Thank you.

The control I use is a Person/Group Picker.  I tried in Property Promotion selecting either DisplayName, AccountID or even the PCPerson but none of them would give me the "Return Field As" field enabled to select to return as email.   It stays
as grey out, disabled, and return as string.  
I suspect this is also why I'm not getting the email when workflow starts.  Where can I check if an email is sent?  I have it sent to myself, by selecting myself in the Person/Group picker but I haven't received any emails.
Thank you.

  • How to get u00BBshort descriptionu00AB  field in structure u00BBBAPIDFKKCLu00AB in local la

    Hello
    I wander how to get »short description«  field in structure »BAPIDFKKCL« in local language »SK«(Slovakia).
    In SMLT transaction I tried several combination of supplementing Language »SK« (with »EN«) none with success. 
    What do you propose? Which combination of parameters in SMLT for substitution do you propose?

    Hi jan Bo ,
        Did you check the option expert mode:
        If you want to supplement a more precise selection of tables, application tables, for example, use the expert mode of the language supplementation program.
    Proceed as follows:
    1. Choose the following for the language that you want to supplement: Language u2192 Special Actions u2192 Supplementation (Expert).
    2. On the next screen, enter a description of your supplementation. This helps you to recognize the supplementation you have started in the transaction SMLT overview.
    3. In the center of the dialog box, you can specify conditions for selecting the tables you want to supplement. These fields are set with SAP defaults, however, you can change them by choosing Change. The default is set so that if you are logged on to client 000, all cross-client and client-specific tables are supplemented in client 000. In other clients, only the client-specific tables in the logon client are selected for supplementation.
    4. The tables that you want to supplement appear at the bottom of the screen, according to the selection you made by choosing Select. Each table is shown with its table class, a description, the supplementation mode, and the client in which the table will be supplemented. You can use the appropriate pushbuttons to change this list, however, we recommend this for experienced users only.

  • How to modify a lookup field-type to use checkbox instead of radiobutton?

    How to modify a lookup field-type to use checkbox instead of radiobutton?
    I would like to modify the behavior for the lookup field.
    Normally you get a screen where it is possible to search through a lookup. The items resulted from the search are listed as radiobutton items. Therefore you can select only one at the time to be added.
    Is it possible to have the items to be listed as checkbox instead? So that you can check multiple items and therefore be able to add multiple items at the time?
    For example:
    To add the user to 10 different groups on MS-AD.
    It is desired to have the ability to check multiple groups to be added instead only one at the time.
    My client would like to use this feature in many other situations.

    Displaying will not be a big deal but with that you have to customize the action class and its working as well.

  • How to get all signature fields in a .pdf from C#

    Does anyone have some sample code that shows how to "iterate" all signatures in a .pdf from C#? Using the SDK and the Javascipt object model I know how to sign a document but I can't figure out how to "get all the signatures". Basically I want to open a .pdf file and then (from C#) find out what persons currently have signed the document. I guess I need to iterate all signature fields and then get the SignatureInfo object, or?
    Anyone?
    Cheers,
    Calle

    I am afraid this don't help me. How do I get the "data" back to C#? Looping all fields in in JavaScript is probably "easy" but I simply can't figure out how to get access to the data from C#. Any one have a suggestion on the best approach?
    Thx,

  • How to get readonly text field value in backing bean?

    Below is my code in JSF.
    <h:inputText id="prodLine" value="#{fbackingBean.value}" required="true" styleClass="readOnlyField" readonly="true"/>
    This is a readonly field, and the value will been pass in by a pop up window. after the value had been passed in, i try to store the data which i had selected, but the value in readonly field (which show in above) return a null value.
    May i noe how can i get the readonly field value in backing bean? thanks!

    Why not keep track of the value in the backing bean? If it's a read only value set from a backing bean it should be simple to retrieve from a backing bean.
    I'm new to JSF, but one thing that I have figured out is to try to put everything in the backing beans possible and to do as little as possible within the JFS web page components.

  • How to get to source fields

    Dear experts,
    I am supposed to write a FS for a BW developer to develop a report iand I have few questions, please help:
    1. What is the best way to convey source fields to the BW person who can then based on this information build the reports.
    2. I am okay with getting to the field names in SAP back end screens but how do I go about the same with Front end Web Dynpro screens?
    3. Some times I am hitting structures is it okay to provide structure name / FIeld name in such cases?
    Please advice.
    Thanks in advance,
    Vasanth

    You can right click on the field in Webdynpro UI and select "more field help" which should give the technical field names. Also check the following documentation on the standard BI content for PPM which may help.

  • How to get all rows that are returned in inner sub query of select statemen

    If a sub query in select statement returns more than one row than how to get all those returned rows in the final
    output of the query .It will be all right if all column's value repeat and that multiple output of inner query comes
    in another column .
    How to get that ?

    As Frank said, you likely want a join, and likely an outer join to replicate the select in the projection. Something like:
    SELECT id,stat, section, USER_ID concerned_person
    FROM table_all,
      left join table2
        on room_id = sectoion and
           sur_role = 'r001'
    WHERE section IN (SELECT code
                      FROM t_area
                      WHERE dept= 'p002')An alternative, depending on where and how you are using the statement would be something like:
    SQL> WITH t AS (
      2    select 1 id from dual union all
      3    select 2 id from dual),
      4  t1 as (
      5    select 1 id, 'One' descr from dual union all
      6    select 1, 'Un' from dual union all
      7    select 1, 'Une' from dual)
      8  SELECT t.id, CURSOR(SELECT t1.id, t1.descr from t1
      9                      WHERE t1.id = t.id)
    10  FROM t;
                      ID CURSOR(SELECTT1.ID,T
                       1 CURSOR STATEMENT : 2
    CURSOR STATEMENT : 2
                      ID DESCR
                       1 One
                       1 Un
                       1 Une
                       2 CURSOR STATEMENT : 2

    Invalid path? What are you doing? Writing the report output to an invalid directory?
    Where are your terms and conditions? It would be very easy just to put them in a database table and select them in your report query.

This method's signature if you check makes me available the header, item guids along with the product available in the field even before i save the sales document. There i fetch the serial number of product from custom table and then poulate the serial no. field in customer_i extension as follows:
      LS_CUSTOMER_I_COM-ZZCUSTOMER_I0803 = LV_MFR_SLNO.
      LS_CUSTOMER_I_COM-REF_GUID    = IV_ITEM.

    Dim Itm As SAPbouiCOM.Item
    FrmT = GestorSAP.SBO_Application.Forms.GetForm("651", 1)
    If (Not FrmT Is Nothing) Then       
       Itm = FrmT.Items.Item("U_Project")
    End If
    Frmt is not nothing, but itm is ever nothing and gives me an exception(item not valid). If i go to sap and look at this form, with debugging info activated, i see:
    Form=651 Itm=U_Project Variable=1 OCLG,U_Project
    What am i ding wrong?

    Hi Miguel Angel.
    Try with form "-651".
