Show Form in WI Task

Hi all,
My workflow is creating a Workitem with additional values in the container via a screen...all good. Now I want the following:
If the user clicks on the workitem via the inbox, I want a screen to show where he/she can change the WI container values...save...and create a new similar WI with updated data ??
any ideas how to achieve this ??
Regards
John

, I want a screen to show where he/she can change the WI container values...save...
It is difficult to acheive this sort of cases directly, until the scenarion is clear, as per my understanding ,all you want is that you need a screen where in which you can enter new values and as soon as you click ok then these new values must be updated, right?, clear us one thing are the screen fileds are staic or dynamic, i mean the container element values for which you wanna change are same all the time, if this is the case then by using [workitem display|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417500)ID1574174750DB11406479040085832269End?blog=/pub/wlg/15666] you can acheive this, and by using the FM SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER you can change the container values in the workitem.
create a new similar WI with updated data ??
Why do you want to create a new workitem when you already have a workitem with the new updated values ......Once you are through with the first part as i explained above....

Need 2 metadata fields from item I am running a approval workflow on to show up on the task list

I have document library "A" that contains many documents with 6 columns of metadata. I have a simple approval workflow for the library that works as it should in functionality. My users would like it if 2 fields of metadata from the items in library
"A" would show up in the Task list so they could track the tasks by the 2 fields. Can anyone point me in the right direction here to make this happen? Working in SP2010 with Designer 2010 and IP 2010.
Thanks

Hi Ross,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display two managed metadata fields in the associated tasks created in the approval workflow.
I recommend to edit the approval workflow in SharePoint Designer and new two task fields to display the two managed metadata fields.
Here are the detailed steps:
Open the approval workflow in SharePoint Designer and click Approval in Start Approval Process step.
Click New to create two task form fields in single line of text type.
Click Change the behavior of a single task under Customization.
In Before a Task is Assigned step, select Set Task Field under Task Behavior Actions and then set the newly created task form fields to get the values in the managed metadata fields of current item.
Please refer to the picture below(create a task form field called Managed Metadata for example and mm is the managed metadata column in the list):
Best regards.

Filter Predefined Properies, Feedback Search, XML Forms Show form issues

Hi all,
I have created XML forms with XML builder and I have some questions.
1. When filtering by predefined properties I want to filter by two properties, which are the same. For example, if there is a publication with two authors and author is the predefined property, in the first field I write the name of the first author, in the second field I write the name of the second author, the result is all publications, which are by both authors and all publication, which are either by the one, or by the other.
I don't have this problem when I filter by two different predefined properties. For example the author and the year. Than the result is all publication, which are by the author AND published in the requested year.
How can I set this option to be able to filter by two same predefined properties and the relation between both properties to be AND?(only publications by both author)
2. In the Show form I have created link to the feedback, using XML Forms BUilder, but I need to write first the feedback to be able to see already existing feedbacks,
if there are any. In the ResourceRendering Form I have created link to the feedback by LayoutSet, where I can see first, if there are already existed feedbacks.
If there is any possibility to set a LayoutSet for the Show Form or any other way in the Show form to display first the existing feedbacks and than to be able to write a new.
And something else reffering to the Show form, is it possible to rate the item from Show form or at least to have link to the rating, not a link to the Details.
I have tried to create a link to the /Properties/col:rating, but it doesn't work. The link dispays the value, if it has been already rated.
3. Is it possible to search for any information in the feedbacks(to make the feedback searchable)?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Zlatina

Hi Zlatin,

By Default identic properties queries are connected by an 'OR'.
Please have a look into the documentation for further info.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/85/80b3d4c9ef11d5993e00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
-> Search Options
So far it's not possible to connect two identic proerties by an 'AND' within the standard.
You can preset a search filter via the relevant Search Option Set.

Logon ID: diamond_admin
Last Name: Admin
First Name: Diamond
In the EDIT Form By using $sap_user and also createdBy property i'm getting the creator name as diamond_admin but i want to display the FirstName and LastName (Diamond Admin).
2)In the EDIT Form i used the Label for Time Based Publishing(TBP)
Opening Date = TimeStamp control
Closing Date = TimeStamp control
In the RenderList Form i'm showing the Closing Date label its display the date and time.
Closing Date= 05/12/08 08:00:00 PM
But i requirement is to show the closing date only not time(Closing Date= 05/12/08) in the RenderListItem Form..
How to do this?Please help me...
Regards
Thillai J

When you are editing the Show Form, select the correct label in the form and in the property list area (bottom right) you have a property named "Display As". Select "Display Name" for the value.
Make sure that in your Data Model your property has the data type "user"
The "Display As" parameter should also work for your date problem as you can select "Short" to only display the date.

Form Filler Yellow Task Bar Link Does Not Open task or do anything (SharePoint 2010 InfoPath 2010)
Using a SPD workflow to run a approval process. This is a non-browser form. User receives task notification, opens form in IP Form Filler and sees yellow task bar notification. User Clicks on open task, nothing happens... OS = XP, On Win7

Hi,
I understand that when you click on Edit this task in the message bar in InfoPath 2010, nothing happens. Does this happen when you open the email which contains the ‘Edit this task’ link?
If so, you can try to check whether this key is in your regedit. If so, you can delete this key and have a test.:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
Back up the regedit keys before making any changes. For more information about backup and restore the regedit, please refer to these sites:

How to include multiple tabs in my show form

Hi
As per my requirement I want to include multiple tabs in my show form using xmlform builder , different tabs are required to display the news under different categories which will help the user to choose the required tab.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to my understanding,
You are trying to create an xml template using xml form builder in such a way that once we publish the news using this template, it should be shown to the end user in the form of different tabs. Each tab will display some part of the news that we published.
Correct me if I am wrong.
The above functinality is not possible using xml form builder as far as I know. You should think of other ways to achieve it.

HOw to display the show form in News browser insted of render listitem dire

Hi,
I have created a xmform .
I have entred some data using the news authoring .
when I see the content thru news browser, By default it displays the content which in defined in my xmlform render listitem .
I want directly to display my xml show form rather then my render listitem.
how to achieve this ?
Should I have to do some coding on this ? if so can some one guide me to achive this ?
thanks
pkiran

Hi PKG,
I think the easiest way to achive this, is to design your RenderListItem form like your ShowForm and restrict the number of items in your collection renderer to "1".
So a list is rendererd with exactly one item.
Kind Regards

XML Form Builder Show Form

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement in XML Forms, When I click a particular news item in Renderlist Form, I need to display the Show Form in the same window without opening a new window. If it is possible, please guide me, How do I do that? And also, can I specify the size of the Show Form?
Regards,
Venkatesh. K

Hi Venkatesh.
To realsize your ideas you have to build your own XSL or to customize the SAP generated XSL files. We build own XSL files.
1) It is possible to present the Show Form in the same window.
Go to the JAVA SCRIPT SECTION. It is mostly at page bottom. The function open_url_with_params(url,params) is used to open the Show form. In this function window.open(url,'_blank',params) is called. Replace _blank to desired value, e.g. _self.
2) If the Show Form opens in a new window it is possible to specify the size and position of this window.
To realize this go to the link references Show form (open_url_with_params). The function is called with the url and some parameters, e.g. toolbar=no, ... . Add the params width, height, top and left here.

Process flow between edit ,renderlistitem and show form in XML form builder

Hi all ,
i'm building from in xml from builder . i'm confused with the process between edit ,renderlist item and show froms .can any one please explain me the Process flow between those
thanks,
rajeev.

Hi Rajeev!
There is no process flow between those forms. They are seperate views of the same document, nothing more.
The Edit form is always used if you create or edit a xml document based on the form.
The renderlist item form is used if more than one XML document is shown, for example in a list.
The show form ist used if the document should be displayed in full, eg by clicking on an XML document in a list.
It is even possible to add more custom forms and display them. If you "preview" an XML document, you get the choice to display the document with all display forms available (default Renderlist item and Show). If you watch the URL when previewing a xml document you'll see an URL parameter selecting the form to show.

Jürgen

How to use adifferent Show form to display a document created by XML forms

Hi,
I have created some XML documents using an XML form.
The XML form contains two Show forms, Show & Show2. The default is Show. When I view the XML document via a KM Docs iView the default Show form is used to display the resource.
If I wish to display the XML document using a KM Docs iView, but using the Show2 (non-default) form how is this done?
I have created Layout Sets for each of the different ways to display the XML forms, but there is no option to choose Layout Set in the KM Docs iView config.
Thanks,
Tom

Workflow Created Tasks not showing up in My Tasks

I'm relatively new to SharePoint and am having trouble with the My Tasks list in SharePoint 2013. Tasks created manually in any task list show up in My Tasks as expected. However, tasks that are created by a workflow using create item in list
for that same list do not appear in My Tasks.
This is true for both tasks assigned to a group and tasks assigned to a specific user.
It has proven frustrating to attempt to google this issue.
Any suggestions?

Hi briandoyle,
Did this happen to all users that the tasks created by workflow aren't displayed in users' My Tasks in MySite?
Have you run a full crawl from Search service application, and also check if creating a new task view with filter option include group, and the following posts should be useful you can check.
