Using list data in a workflow

Hello,
Hopefully this is quite an easy to solve problem.I work for a company and am looking to create a workflow that automatically emails groups based on Employee login data.
I have designed a workflow on SPD that automatically sets a column called 'Job' to the associate's job title (So login is placed in that column as a string, but it displays the job title as data).
How can I design the workflow, so that it will automatically email an address if their job title contains a specific set of letters?
I am not able to get the workflow to recognise the column data - rather, it recognises the string that is entered to produce the data in the column (does that make sense?).
I am a complete rookie at this!
Cheers, any replies greatly appreciated.

Hi Jamie,
If you would like to add an workflow action based on Job title, it might depends on how you get Job title.
From your description, you can set a column to be associated with Job title. Please try to set a workflow variable value to Job title value, then see if you can use this variable in the workflow condition.

  • SSDT - Using a SharePoint list data feed as source - "column does not exist in the rowset" error

    Hey guys!
    So, I want to use a SharePoint list data to create a cube/tabular model, in order to make a complex analysis in PPS using MDX.
    To create the tabular model, I'm using the SS Data Tools, and importing a feed from the respective SharePoint list (using the _vti_bin/listdata.svcextension and then selecting the list(s) I wanna to import).
    Everything looks fine and smooth, I can select and preview the data in the table import wizard, but in the end, when importing, I always get this error IF the table has one or more row of data (if the table is empty, it's ok...) - the <...>
    column doesn't exist in the rowset.
    (Curiously, when I have the same procedure in PowerPivot for Excel, I have no problems, everything works fine. The problem is that then I get again errors if I try to create a tabular model on SSDT importing a PowerPivot file).
    Here's the error:
    Had you already tried this in SSDT? Are you experiencing the same trouble?
    Best regards, and thanks in advance!

    I noticed something else too.
    I can't process Tabular Models on both SSDT and SSMS (2012), but I can process Tabular Models created on PowerPivot.
    I tried to create a Data Feed connection on PowerPivot, and it was successfully created. However, if restoring the PowerPivot Tabular DB on my SSAS Tabular instance and processing (full) the model through SSMS, it won't work.
    Is there anything different on PowerPivot and SSDT related with Partitioning or connections to the data sources?

    Update:
    When trying to Restore a PowerPivot file on my SSAS Tabular Server and full process the model:
    The operation failed because the source does not contain the requested column. You can fix this problem by updating the column mappings.
    More Details:
    The 'X' column does not exist in the rowset.
    An error occurred while processing the partition 'X_81dabac5-c250-4a8c-8832-ad7fcedd35cb' in table 'X_81dabac5-c250-4a8c-8832-ad7fcedd35cb'.
    The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
    X is the first column of the source table, no matter if I chose others on the PowerPivot table.
    When trying to import data from a data feed using SSDT:
    The 'X' column does not exist in the rowset.

    Hi I  newly started using Iphone 6, I am not getting all the applications list under Use Cellular date for to restrict my unwanted apps on cellular data
    Please help me out

    Hi Rajesh778484,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that some of your applications are not appearing under Settings > Cellular on your iPhone so that you can restrict or allow use of cellular data. If you have some installed applications on your iPhone that are not showing here, the first troubleshooting step I would suggest would be to reset your iPhone. Please refer to the attached article for information on how to perform a reset. 
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • Apps missing from use cellular data list in iphone 6

    So I got the new iPhone 6...and half of my apps are missing from the "use cellular data" list...those that are missing won't load when I try to open them...they just flash and shut down.  I've tried turning off wifi...I've tried resetting the phone...nothing works.  What's the point of the phone if you can't use the freaking apps when you aren't connected to wifi??  Anyone else having this problem?? Anyone know how to fix it??

  • Application not listed in iOS- Settings- "Use Cellular data for"

    Hello,
    When i install the IPA of my application, it is not listed in the "Use Cellular data for" list in Cellular data Settings. I would like to know how to add my application to this list.
    Also, is it possible to get the Enabled/Disabled status of the my application if listed in the above list.

    No, but you could turn off Updates under Automatic Downloads in Settings>iTunes & App Store, then update them manually when you're connected to wifi.

  • Where used list doesn't work for global data

    Hi,
    When i try to do where used list on a constant in an include, it doesn't give the results for classes.
    The class contains the include in a method that uses the constant, and the where used list for that constant doesn't find the appearance of the constant in the class.
    I tried to look for oss note that solves the problem but i couldn't find any.

    I tried to update the navigation index but it still doesn't work. from my debuging i found out that it just doesn't look in classes, all classes. I mean even in the where used itself there is not an option for used in classes. I checked it and it's a generic problem of the where used list for global data.

    When formatting your column to date/time, pick Date & time, and then pick the letter i in the circle to the right. Then scroll down and pick "No time"

    Hi Lydia,
    It may help to force close all open apps and reset your iPhone.

    If you still can't enable mobile data for your various apps, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

  • Where Used List for Master Data Entries

    Hi folks,
    I am looking for a FM, method, etc. that gives me a list, that shows, where a certain master data entry of an InfoObject is used. The BW system makes this check implicitly, when trying to delete master data, but I couldn't get behind the logic yet.
    Anyone here with helpful hints?

    Hi Durgesh,
    Thank you for your answer!
    Unfortunately the two mentioned FMs are not helpful for me. I am looking for a where-used-list of master data entries, but not of InfoObjects. For example I am looking in which InfoCubes the measure pieces of InfoObject '0UNIT' is used.

  • Loading data including Smart Lists data using ODI Planning KM

    Hi all,
    a question regarding ODI loading Smart Lists Data...
    Can somebody confirm if we can load data from a source file which has the smart lists labels, instead of the smart list values id (ex: YES instead of 1)? i suppose Planning will do the conversion when loading to essbase
    By the way, is Outline load utility working in the same way?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi John,
    not because your site was blocked by the customer's firewall :-(
    by the way I was referring to loading data containing smart lists accounts. In any case, I have seend that you have other blog entry where you were loading data using labels instead of keys
    http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2009/05/odi-series-loading-smart-list-data-into.html
    This is what I was looking for.
    Another question, in outline load we have the chance of putting driver members in the source file which makes the process more flexible. Think if our driver members (Accounts) change dynamically.
    Wuold it be any customization possible to add the same functionality to the ODI Planning KM?
    We are not likely to use Essbase KM and joins with Plannign repository tables as our source data has dates, free text, figures,smarlists accounts, etc.
    Thanks!

  • Switching b.w reports using list item - missing data on initialization

    Hi,
    I have two interactive reports (one with product view and second with Line of business view)... I've allowed my users to switch b.w prod/LOB views (using list item).. I am using LOB view as a default view
    My problem is that when the user logs into the application LOB view report appears by default (as desired) but contains no data (displays message: No data found) until I switch it to product view (via list item) and then switch back to LOB view...Not sure what's causing it

    Hi,
    I changed the Computations to "Value of Item in Expression 1 is NULL" and put the item name into Expression 1.
    You had a PL/SQL expression of:
    NVL(:P2_YEAR,'NULL') = 'NULL'
    I think you could have used:
    :P2_YEAR IS NULL
    or
    NVL(:P2_YEAR,'0000') = '0000'
    I'm not 100% sure what effect there would be of using 'NULL' within a statement - it should just be seen as a string, but, as you can see from the results, something wasn't working as we'd expect.
    Apart from changing the way that the default value is computed for the Year, that was the only change that I made.

  • How do I pull SharePoint 2013 list data using a SQL Query

    I have been asked to write a sql query to pull data from a SharePoint 2013  List.it needs to return all the columns
    Basically a Select all from the specific SharePoint list Database
    I do have the  list GUID ID. But not sure  which  SQL Table or Database to look in for list data.. the site and the list is in our main SharePoint site collection.
    the query only needs to be saved in SQL server

    I know it isn't support but sometimes you have to share data with other programs....
     I'm stuck.. I was able to get this far...
    SELECT * FROM dbo.Lists
    where tp_Title ='List Name'
     how do I pull the columns of the list?
    I think I still need the specific list not just the master list dbo....
    those two links do not work for SQL server  and SharePoint 2013

  • Send Email with Contents of List Item (not from workflow)

    End users have requested the capability to email a single list item, with all its data (by which they mean the data they see in their view), to an address to be entered on the fly. In other words, they want an option in the ECB or ribbon where
    they would fill in a box with an email address (not necessarily a SharePoint user) and the contents of the selected list item would be sent out by the portals email, which is already configured.
    My searching has found similar solutions involving workflows, but nothing in the way of an 'on-demand' type of process. If this is something that needs to be developed, I am not afraid to jump in, but am hoping there might be something I can leverage already
    in place.
    I would appreciate any ideas on this.
    Echo Train Nashville TN

    Hi Echo Train,
    I would still look at using a Workflow for this. Easiest option to setup and maintain, and
    you can still enter an email (or multiple emails) on demand.
    For the List Workflow click on Initiation Parameters and add one with
    Field name of Email for example.
    Description (something like): "Please enter the email(s) you wish to send the list item information. Separate each email with a semi colon ;"
    Information type: Single line of text
    Default value: leave it blank
    Next add a Send an Email action with the following settings:
    To: Select from existing Users and Groups > Workflow Lookup for a User...
    > Data source: Workflow Variables and Parameters
    > Field from source: Parameter: Email
    > Return field as: As String
    Then setup your Subject and Body using the Fields from the Current List Item
    Save the Workflow then go back into the Workflow settings and ensure that: Allow this workflow to be manually started is the only option selected.
    Publish the workflow and your users should now be able to click on the Workflow with the ability to enter one or more emails.
    There are other options apart from using a Workflow such as setting up an Action with some ECMA script, but much more difficult to create and maintain, which in this instance I would still opt for the Workflow solution.
