How to include time in [Today] in workflow email variable

I want to add the date/time that an item was added to a library in the email body of a workflow email. I created a variable and set the date value to Current date. When the email comes though the date is correct, but the time is 12:00:00 a.m. Why is that, and is there a way to get the time in the date/time stamp?

Hi,
This is one drawback in SharePoint. Whenever you write a field of type "Date and Time" in the workflow email, it will always show the time 12:00:00 AM no matter if you have selected "Date Only" option also. This not only happens in SharePoint Designer's "Send an Email" activity but also happens in Visual studio workflow. There is no inbuilt solution for this and if you are using SharePoint Designer then you cannot get rid of this.
I was using Visual studio workflows and in order to remove this "12:00:00" part from date, i followed some logic. First i converted my date to a string variable and then used "Trim()" function to trim the "12:00:00 AM" part. Like this i made this working.

How to include sap work item in the email sent by workflow - WS01700044

Hi,
In FSCM Dispute Management, we have a requirment to include the sap work item in the email being sent by the workflow - WS01700044.
The underlying task in it is TS01707928. This Task sends an email to the outlook as well as work item to SAP inbox.
We want to include Sap Work item in email being sent to the outlook.
This will help the users to process the workitem directly from the email instead of going to SAP Inbox to process the work items.
Please suggest the possible ways.
Thank you.
Vijay

Sadly, I believe this will require a bit of development to make it happen. The project I'm on now...we are finding that to get it to do what we want it to do, a development to customize the email message to include all the case fields is required.

How to include Excel file in a notification email.

Hi All,
Their is a new requirement came in my application.
We have a bunch of reports on this website(application) and we have a requirement around this
1. Provide user with a facility to save the report for himself/herself(Interactive report).
2. This saved report should be sent via an email on a weekly/monthly/daily basis based upon what the report displays everyday. E.g. today Apr-6, if the report displays 100 records, then an email with those 100 records (attached as a spreadsheet) will be sent to the user who saved this report. Tomorrow, Apr-7, if the report shows 55 records, then this should be emailed to the user. The period to send an email can be variable - every day, every week, etc; but can this be scheduled?
Please anyone can suggest me whether this requirement is possible to do!If it is possible then how can i implement?
Thanks & Regards,
Ramya.

Yes it's possible with some custom coding.
Ask Tom has shown it's possible to create csv files given a query, which Excel will open as a spreadsheet:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:95212348059
You could then create a custom procedure using the utl_smtp package to send a mail with the attachment:
Re: Sending UTL_SMTP mail with single jpg attachment issue
Finally you would set up a DBMS job or cron entry to run on whatever schedule you need (daily/weekly/monthly).

How to include hidden/protected transaction ID in email?

I'm working on an application that includes a requirement for an email based send and response mechanism.
Ideally I'd like to include somewhere within this email a transaction code that allows me to identify the target user response.
What's the best method for achieving this? Can I for example include the transaction ID as an custom entry in the email header?
What I'd like is some way of ensuring that the target user cannot interfere with the transaction identifier.

I cannot check at the moment, but I think the parameter is called xCollectionPath.
However, I think you will need a bit more than just the mere string - there is a chance to create a link to the folder (a shortcut), which enable one-click opening the folder. It will require a bit more work.

Hello,
For this, you need to have SAP - DMS (Document management system) configured in your system.
SAP DMS are for storing documents such as CAD drawings, Materials pictures etc.
With the document management system, users will be able to view the documents with ease within their SAP systems.
Installing the SAP DMS requires a little bit of planning on how you want to do it.
You have to give a little thoughts to stuff such as :-
1. The total numbers of documents that will be store monthly.
2. The average file size of each documents.
3. The capacity of your present R/3 system.
4. Your present network bandwidth.
5. Document Archiving Strategy.
6. Backup and Recovery Plan.
Additional purchasing of hardware are required, especially if you have large amount of documents to stored.
With this in mind, you can then decide on how you want to do it.
You can do this in a few ways :-
1. Import the documents into the R/3 system.
2. Use an external document server.
3. Have a dedicated PCs where all the documents are stored.
Most companies that intend to used DMS will opt for Option 2 as they does not want to overstretch the R/3 database.
Options 1 requires you to setup the conversion interface.
The conversion interface allows R/3 to automatically covert your files and import it into the R/3 database.
Here is a simple example of storing documents into your PCs, just to have a feel how the SAP DMS works:-
For those using Citrix, you have to set this at the Citrix Server where the SAPGUI is located.
Configure SM30 - V_TDWE_C1
Put this command in your autoexec.bat
SET HOSTNAME=PC1234
Restart your pc.
You can create/manage your documents in transaction code CV01N / CV02N
Assigning Documents to a Material Master Record
Access a material master record in Create or Change mode, and select Basic Data.
To create links to documents, choose Additional data -> Document data.
The Link to Documents dialog box appears.
Assign one or more documents to the material.
If you do not know what the document number is, you can search for it using the search help or by choosing Find document.
When assigning a document to a material, you have the following options:
1. Viewing the document by choosing it in the Link to Documents dialog box.
2. Viewing any originals of the document by positioning the cursor on the document and
choosing Display originals in the Link to Documents dialog box.
To return to the Basic Data screen, choose Continue.
Save your data.

How to include link with parameter in marketing emails?

Hi, my client wants to send out personalized marketing emails to customers with a link back to the BC site that have a parameter on the end that passes the customer's email address the message was sent to. Then the landing page can parse that email off the end of the URL and insert it into the web form on the page where the customer can update his info, insuring he is using the same email that BC sent the message to rather than supplying a different one.
If you insert a BC tag like {tag_recipientemail} into the body of the message it will replace that tag with the customer's email, but it doesn't work to use that BC tag within the HTML link in the email like this:
<a href="https://mysite.worldsecuresystems.com/birthday?{tag_recipientemail}" > Click Here </a>
That renders the TAG code {tag_recipientemail}on the end of the URL, not the email address.
Anyone found a work around?
If this was a web page I could use javascript to fix this, but of course email clients receiving messages don't allow javascript to run inside them, so this has to be fixed server side by BC.

I suspect the same. That should work in the real campaign. I believe that it doesn't work in the e-mail me functionality because the user you are logged in is not connected to the CRM table, which is where that tag is pulling the info from.
Cheers,

System generated emails - how to include a mandatory prefix for all email

Good morning.
I have been asked if there was a way to default a Security Classification into the Subject Line of all SAP system generated emails.
Examples "[UNCLASSIFIED] Please approve Purchase Order 123456" or "[UNCLASSIFIED] Please approve Absence for Fred Smith".
I can have the individual code of the Programs that generate the Subject Texts but is there a way to have this default for ALL emails?
Thanks
David

Hi David,
This one sounds like the one for the Basis guy to look at. They should be able to configure (default) this prefix in the EMAIL/SMTP node(s) as viewed in transaction SCOT. The changes should be done from the IMG (SPRO).
Regards.

Change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010

Hi
How I can change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010. I want to configure display name (from address)of email
for each site collection separately.for example I want to change "software unit"
in below pic to another name for my software unit site collection.
How I can do this?
Thanx.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010.
In my environment, if I assign a task to a user, the email is as below:
The “test” is the site name, the [email protected] is the “From” user.
Do you want to change the “From” field in the workflow?
If so, you can have a look at the "Send email extended" custom SPD workflow activity (http://www.codeplex.com/SPDActivities
) which allow you to specify the sender.
Here are some similar threads for your reference:

How to include the 1st data point date time in x

Hi,
I use a formular in the Interval from "Axis range and interval"
=IIF(COUNT(Fields!Date_Reading.value, "DataSet1") <=48 ,1 , 12)
However, it always missed the 1st data point date/time, please advise on how to include it always ... !
Thanks !

Hi kkcci8888,
Per my understanding that when you using the expression in the Interval you can't see the first date display in the label, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by the setting of the Interval. I assumed the 1st data point date time which haven't display means the minimum date in the report.
If you have specify an kind of "Interval Type", the first date not display as the label, if you keep the "Interval Type" as "Default", you will get it display correctly.
I recommend you to do the setting as below to get it display correctly:
Go to Horizontal Axis Properties
In Axis Options, Select the Axis Type as Scalar.
Deselect "Always include zero".
In Minimum box type [First(Sale_Date)]
note: make sure you have use the order by Sale_Date in the query to order the date already.
keep the "Interval Type" as "Default", the default means "Days", try to modify the expression to specify an new value of the Interval and the type will be "Days" by default.
Click "Labels" on the left pane to check you haven't select the "Hide first and last labels along with this axis":
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
