SharePoint Designer Reuse Field Data from Prior Task Process

So, I have a SP2013 WF. One of the actions in the WF is to "Assign a Task Action" to permit any one of the assignees (yes, it's going to multiple people) to Approve, Reject, or Request Clarification on the item. I've added a text field to the
custom content type called "Approval Comments" where I would like whichever approver completes the task to provide information, but must especially if the Outcome is "Request Clarification"... But of course, since Task Actions don't have
a workflow variable that tracks the "Task ID" of the action (I assume this is because there are as many WF tasks created as there are participants in the request, so there isn't any single ID related to the WF), I can't have the WF do a lookup to
the WF Task and find the comments associated with the task. I also don't have any way to push the contents of that field back into the list item being approved. Surely, there is some magical way I can filter the workflow tasks list and somehow find the relevant
item without the risk of having multiple hits...isn't there??? I really don't remember things being so incredibly difficult in SP2010 workflow tasks...

Hi,
For your issue, you can refer to the actions as below:
1.Create a Parallel Block.
2.Ceate a Loop with condition: Variable: Outcome
equals
Request Clarification.
3.Assign a task to an approver using Assign a task action.
4.Repeat 2,3 steps for other approvers.
By this way, you can get the Task ID and loop approving process while task outcome equals Request Clarification.

Eric

I have a new Macbook Pro. All data from prior Mac was migrated to new Mac. If I run Time Machine and "inherit" the old backups will TM take up where I left off, or delete and overwrite the current data?

I have a new Macbook Pro. All data from prior Mac was migrated to the new Mac. I want to continue Time Machine on the new Mac and retain the history. An option is to "inherit" the old Time Machine. I want to make sure this does not errase the current data, but creates a current backup.

What authorities do I need to start a dispute with for Verizon charging for "Unbilled Data From Prior Months - GB "

For the second month in a row, Verizon has added a $15.00 "data over usage" fee. When I call customer service, I am told that the charge is for over usage of data from prior months in which they can't tell me what months we went over. We've been Verizon customers for 10+ years & all of a sudden their customer service has severely declined. I am always on Verizon's website looking at our usage and the past 6 month analysis to make sure we're staying within our range of usage and we've never gone over our allowed plan for data. I plan to file a formal complaint/dispute with all of the consumer protection agencies and/or authorities but need to know which ones are for telecommunications issues for Georgia consumers.

For a customer of 10 years to never read the customer agreement...:
"HOW AND WHEN CAN I DISPUTE CHARGES?
If you're a Postpay customer, you can dispute your bill within 180 days of receiving it, but unless otherwise provided by law or unless you're disputing charges because your wireless device was lost or stolen, you still have to pay all charges until the dispute is resolved. If you're a Prepaid customer, you can dispute a charge within 180 days of the date the disputed charge was incurred. YOU MAY CALL US TO DISPUTE CHARGES ON YOUR BILL OR ANY SERVICE(S) FOR WHICH YOU WERE BILLED, BUT IF YOU WISH TO PRESERVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING SUCH DISPUTE, YOU MUST WRITE TO US AT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ADDRESS ON YOUR BILL, OR SEND US A COMPLETED NOTICE OF DISPUTE FORM (AVAILABLE AT VERIZONWIRELESS.COM), WITHIN THE 180–DAY PERIOD MENTIONED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT NOTIFY US IN WRITING OF SUCH DISPUTE WITHIN THE 180-DAY PERIOD, YOU WILL HAVE WAIVED YOUR RIGHT TO DISPUTE THE BILL OR SUCH SERVICE(S) AND TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING ANY SUCH DISPUTE."

Pulling user/group field data from SharePoint list using REST, jQuery, Knockout.js Sharepoint 2013

I'm trying to make an interactive task board based on the task list app in SharePoint 2013. The task lisk includes fields like "Title","Description","Status","% Complete","Due Date","Assigned To",
etc. I used knockout.js to bind "Title","Description", and "Status" to my HTML controls. Here is some of the code:
var ViewModal = function(items, listname){
var self = this;
self.sortBy = ko.observableArray(sortBy);
self.tasks = ko.observableArray(items);
self.listname = ko.observable(listname);
self.auto = ko.observable(false);
self.getTasks = function() {
clearTimeout(self.getTasks);
// server relative url to REST service endpoint
var ajaxurl = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/" + self.listname() + "?$orderby=PriorityValue";
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: ajaxurl,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
cache: false,
processData: true,
success: function (data, status, xhr) {
if (status == "success" && data) {
ko.mapping.fromJS(data.d.results, mapping, self.tasks)
$(".task-item").draggable();
error: alert
if (self.auto()) {
setTimeout(self.getTasks, 10000);
<div class="tasks-column">
<div class="column-header">Not Started</div>

<div class="task-item">

<input type="text" data-bind="value: Title"></input>
</div>
</div>
I'm having trouble displaying the data from the "Assigned To" user/group field. I tried:
<span data-bind="text: AssignedTo"></span>
But it displays the field as [object Object]
I tried using $select/$expand
?$select=Title,AssignedTo/Id,Assignedto/Title&$expand=AssignedTo/Id,AssignedTo/T‌itle";
But it still returns the [object Object]

Hi,
Please use the REST URI below:
/_api/lists/getbytitle('ListName')/items?$select=Title,AssignedTo/ID,AssignedTo/Title&$expand=AssignedTo/ID,AssignedTo/Title

SharePoint Designer - Splice repeating data into separate lists?

I'm a beginner with SharePoint Designer (for SP 2010), so please let me know if you need more info on the question below in order to determine the feasibility.
We have an InfoPath 2010 form that has a repeating section with several fields, one of which is an Approved/Not Approved radio button. The form can be used to house a mix of approved and not approved entries. The stakeholders would like to then
have that form populate two separate lists—one with the approved entries and one with the entries that were not approved. Since this information repeats and is merged into one column/one cell on the original SharePoint library, I’m not having any
success splitting that data out so that Not Approved lines go to one library and Approved lines go to another. I’ve been playing around with it but so far can only get an all or nothing entry to show up in one of the lists.
Is this possible with SharePoint designer to do this, or is it best to advise our stakeholders to change the form design to only accept one client per form?
I appreciate any assistance!

Hi Lennie,
You cannot do this with SharePoint Designer or directly with InfoPath form. You need to write code to submit data from repeating table to separate lists. See this for reference:
http://www.infopathdev.com/blogs/matt/archive/2006/02/02/Add-SharePoint-List-Items-with-InfoPath.aspx
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2007/how-to-submit-items-rows-repeating-table-infopath-sharepoint-list.htm
Or use 3rd party tools like Qrule from Qdabra. Hope it helps.

Syntax for retrieving data from a task container

Hello Workflow Fans !
I have a Task with the following configuration:
BASIC DATA - Object Method :
Object Category: BOR Object Type
Object Type: ZBusObj1
Method: 022_Data_Upd
CONTAINER :
I have added a second BOR Object in the container called ZBusObj2
In conclusion, when the task is executed within my WF run, the method ZBusObj1.022_Data_Upd is executed and both business objects (ZBusObj1 and ZBusObj2) should be available in my Task container.
My question:
How, in my method 022_Data_Upd, can I retreive (get) the value of the ZBusObj2 key field (Customer No)?
Here is what I tried... obviously... without any success:
BEGIN_METHOD O22_Data_Upd CHANGING CONTAINER.
break-point.
* Variable declarations
DATA: lva_Risk_Cat    TYPE ZTCOMP_PDV-CTLPC.
DATA: lva_Montant_V TYPE ZTCOMP_PDV-MONTANT_V.
DATA: lva_Custno       TYPE KNA1-KUNNR.
* Data retreival from the task container
SWC_GET_PROPERTY self 'RiskCategory' lva_Risk_Cat.
SWC_GET_PROPERTY self 'MONTANT_V'    lva_Montant_V.
SWC_GET_ELEMENT container 'ZBUSOBJ2.Customerno' lva_Custno.
The last line (SWC_GET_ELEMENT...) is the one I'm strugling with...
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
José

So, my understading is that you need an instance of the second object OBJ2 inside the method of the first object OBJ1.
First, if you only need the customer number, I recommend that you only pass the number itself. Here is what you need to do:
1- Add an "Import" parameter to method 022_DATA_UPD and call it anything (I'll use PARAM): the parameter can be either an object or a field. You specify the type when you define the parameter. Parameters are added by "single" clicking the method name in SWO1 so that the pointer is on the method name then clicking the "Parameters" button.
2- Inside the method, add the following code
Case 1: parameter is an object
DATA: lvo_custobj TYPE swc_object.
DATA: lva_custno TYPE KNA1-KUNNR.
swc_get_element container 'PARAM' lvo_custobj.
swc_get_property lvo_custobj '<CUSTOMER_NUMBER_PROPERTY_NAME>' customer_number.
Case 2: parameter is just a field
DATA: lva_custno TYPE KNA1-KUNNR.
swc_get_element container 'PARAM' lva_custno.
As you can see, adding only the customer number is easier to read. The method should work when you test it in SWO1 before you proceed into the next steps.
3- Make sure the standard task calling the method is updated with the new parameter. Basically open the task in change mode and type an extra space in the description field then hit Enter. The system will ask you if you want to update the list of parameters.
4- Update the binding of the task in the workflow template to pass either the customer object or customer number.

Hi
I created the "read" and "update" methods in my application service. How can I call them? I created and implemented the methods just like here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/340fc0ea-0c01-0010-74bf-965b11031e77
Operations:
- readMyEntityService:
- updateMyEntityService
Implementation:
retValue = getMyEntityService().read(key);
getMyEntityService().update(dS0);
In Web Dynpro there is this update method with the code above (in my original post).
How can I call the update-method????????
Kind regards

How to create a bc model for sharepoint 2013 that consume data from two Sql tables?

can anybody can help me, please?
Thanks.

Please follow this article to write SSRS reports with data source as SharePoint list/calendars etc. All document libraries, list and calendars are derived from base list class so you can use any of this type as a data source
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2068/using-a-sharepoint-list-as-a-data-source-in-sql-server-reporting-services-2008-r2/
Once your SSRS report is developed, you have multiple ways to show it in SharePoint
- upload to SSRS server and show in sharepoint in a page viewer web part or simply open it as a link in new window
- configure SharePoint environment with integration to SSRS and upload report to SharePoint library. Display report in a web part page using SSRS web part.

Retrive I/O field data from screen. I will reward points.

Hello Gurus, i want to retrive the data from the screen I/O fields using wa (a work area or internal table), but when i try to do that in PAI using
data wa type zzz.
x = wa-comp.
wa is empty but if i don`t declare wa, it does contain the data from the screen.

Is the screen field called wa-comp too, and defined as the same format as the "wa" structure variable?... If not, the value from the screen will not get passed back into the wa-comp variable for you to access. The dynpro acts like a window into your programs global data area so you need to get the screen names and formats right.

How do you pass the data from a SBO process to a crystal report laout

Hi Everyone
Can someone please assist or direct me to documentation that could be of help.
I do production orders in SBO.
I have a crystal report that I have imported as a layout to print these production orders.
The report was developed the normal way, linking to the tables and returning data(all data for all production orders ever done)
The production print option is set to make use of this layout.
What I would like to see is that when I create production order 12345 and click on print preview I get the data of the mentioned order only displayed in my crystal layout(that is set to default)
What I get however is all the data from the tables.
Where am I going wrong. With my design already or is there a different way to pass the data to my report/layout direct from my SBO production order screen
This is quite urgen
Regards
Burger

Hi All
The solution i was looking for is:
In Crystal create the parameter called DocKey@
This is recognized by sap and the active document number is passed to the report layout.
In crystal itself also do a filter {<Table>.<Column Name>} = {?DocKey}
So simple once you know how.
Hope this help someone else that is as stuck as I was.

Return the scheduled start date from one task to a custom field for all tasks

Hi all
I am trying populate an entire custom task date field with the scheduled start date of one of the tasks. I thought the easiest way would be to:
1) identify the date I need with a custom task flag field set to 'yes'
2) create a formula to look for the 'yes' flag in that field and populate the custom task date field with it.
This worked only for the task where the flag was set to yes (task #36) and the rest of the 49 tasks returned an error message. I'm unsure of how to set this up so that the date with the 'yes' flag populates in this column on
all 50 tasks.
This would also need to scale for situations where there were more or less than 50 tasks.
Thanks in advance...
Using MSP 2010 Pro

ShelleyBrodie,
That's because the syntax of your formula isn't quite what you intend. The correct syntax is:
IIf( expression, truepart, falsepart )
For your case that converts to:
IIf([Flag1],[Scheduled Start],{not sure what you want for the false part but I assume is is not Scheduled Start})
Note, the "Yes" for Flag1 is implied, so the first part (i.e. Scheduled Start) is the truepart, but you don't give a value for the falsepart (i.e in both cases your formula is looking for Flag1 to be "yes". Let's say you want the Date1
field to have the Scheduled Start date if Flag1 is "yes" and to have today's date if Flag1 is "no". Then the formula will be:
IIf([Flag1],[Scheduled Start],[Current Date])
However, As I indicated in my previous response, you won't be able to do what you described in your initial post by using a formula. Are you now trying to do something different?

Need help adding field data from a table to a text box

I have a form that has a table. Within the table is a description box. The user enters data into the box and can add/remove new items. When they are done I would like the text from these fields to be concatenated into a large text box. Essentially what they are doing is creating a list of descriptions that will be pushed into a report field.
Thanks,

Hi,
Yes, you should be able to adapt the example to work for the main summary textfield.
I would place the script in the exit event of the table textfields. You would still need to clear the summary textfield and then loop through the table and update.
Inside the loop the text would be like:
summary.rawValue = summary.rawValue + xfa.resolveNode("Table1.Row1[" + i + "]").textField.rawValue + " ";
Hope that helps,
Niall
