Sorry I ain't done yet. My trigger happy go lucky phone send the message at a flash. I tried to work around the none formatting issue using the word in the office but as I could not get it to work as expected within reasonable amount of time and number of tries I gave up. If you format a phrase and copy it it just copies the last format and ignores the copied formatting. Plus how do you make the f. Keyboard go away easily? Why internet has no forward arrow, only back! Is this some kind of joke? Why when texting can't you move back and forth with arrows, just the stupid cursor. NO undo function????? Elementary mr Watson, elementary. +You have to be an oracle to guess when an app will close when u hit the back arrow rather than go back!! Apps must not close like that. Pretty disheartening. Pretty pretty for a good looking phone like this.
And to be honest I am not going to buy a new phone for another three to four years come hell. Unless wify breaks my old one she uses now and I give her the brick.

Formatting the mail content in the workflow email

Hi,
In a workflow i am displaying a currency value.I want to format the currency value in the output. For eg: currently in the workflow email a value is displayed as 20000.0000 but i want it to display as 20,000.00 .
I have written the code in the method of the business object where i fetch this value such that the value is changed to the required format and is placed in the container element. The value of this container element is then displyed in the mail body.
I checked and the value does change to the required format and it is placed in the container element also in the required format(i.e 20,000.00) But only in the email output the formatting is lost and it is displayed in the original format(i.e 20000.0000).
Is there any other way to format the output of the currency field. I tried changing the data type to a character string but then the comma does not appear on the output.
Thanks!
Regards
Archana

Hi,
amount = 20000.0000
mail_amount is the variable that you'll use in mail body
p_curr is the currency you'll use.
WRITE amount TO mail_amount CURRENCY p_curr RIGHT-JUSTIFIED.

Sending workflow email in HTML format

Hi Experts,
I'd like to know if it is possible to send an HTML email using the workflow email step and HOW. Sample is displaying the simple table in HTML format:
<table border="1">
<tr> <th>Header 1</th> <th>Header 2</th> </tr>
<tr>
<td>row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
Since the hyperlink (<A HREF="http://www.google.com">Google</A>) is working, I want to know if a table will work too.
My last resort creating a separate program that uses SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.
Regards,
Dexter

Hello,
Using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 is not a last resort; it's a necessity if you want to send anything but the simplest email from workflow.

Date format in workflow email

Hi All,
I'm having issues with the date format within an automated WorkFlow email. For Leads, users in the UK are entering the 'call back date' field as '26/06/2009' and in the email it seems to base this on the server locale appearing as '06/26/2009'. Can we format this within the code?
Thanks
Oli @ Innoveer

I have just experienced this and used the following to convert the date to Australian format for my workflow email
%%%Mid([<IndexedDate0>],4,2) + '/' + Left([<IndexedDate0>],2) + Mid([<IndexedDate0>],6,Len([<IndexedDate0>]))%%%
this gives format DD/MM/YYYY
hope this helps,

Email formatting - multiline symbol not showing

Hi Workflowers
I am using method <i>sendtaskdescription</i> to send an email. The body of the mail is the task description as normal. I have embedded a multiline element as an expression in the task description using the option "All lines with line break". However, only the first line will show in the email. Each line of the multiline element is simply a text string.
I have tried all kinds of formatting options in the task description, but nothing seems to help. Anyone with any suggestions?

Out of all the meaningless and unexplained suggestions here in this forum....
Would you care to explain why refreshing the organizational buffers should influence the multiline text element inclusion in a work item description? Or were you just taking a shot in the dark, hoping to get some points awarded either out of pity or because Tony didn't know better?
Now, before some of you say I shouldn't be so harsh, I care to disagree. If this is the quality of advice, then what is the point of the forum? The goal of this forum surely can not be to <u>lower</u> our average intelligence, can it?
If someone, like Abishek in this case, is taking a shot in the dark - they he/she should at least have the decency and integrity to qualify their advice by stating that: "I'm taking a shot in the dark", or "I don't really know anything about this, but here are some general tricks to try when things fail".

Email Delivery Option - Simple TEXT Output is coming as an attachment

Hi All,
I am trying to use R12.1.3 feature "Delivery Option" while Submitting Concurrent Program "Payables Open Interface Import" using FND_SUBMIT with email Delivery Option and email is coming with an attachment (Concurrent Program Output).
Email Body is blank (as expected if Output is coming as an attachment), as per documentation if CP Output is in TEXT Format then Email body should show the Output instead of an attachment.
My Question, is if Output is TEXT why it is coming as an attachment, do I need to Configure something?
I am using and it is working fine(not sure if any of the argument is required to Set "SMTP_CONTENT_TYPE",
l_ret := fnd_request.add_delivery_option
(type => FND_DELIVERY.TYPE_EMAIL
     ,p_argument1 => 'Quick Invoice to Workbench Transfer Details' -- Subject
     ,p_argument2 => '[email protected]' -- From
     ,p_argument3 => l_email_add -- To
     ,p_argument4 => '[email protected]'); -- CC
In Java Based Concurrent Program example, I foudn this line, not sure how to do that using PL/SQL
req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_CONTENT_TYPE, "application/pdf");
Please Help.

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.

MS SharePoint 2010 Designer Workflow Email - Enhanced Rich Text Field look-up values on HTML email have large spaces

MS InfoPath 2010 form with RTF (Rich Text Fields)

https://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/sites/eusp/pages/creating-html-emails-with-spd-workflows.aspx
Hi all of the above work, our question is how to control the RTF (Rich Text Field) look up values to the InfoPath 2010 form in the HTML email?
How to FORMAT the RTF look up value? in the HTML email
EXAMPLE
we have a InfoPath 2010 form published in the SharePoint 2010 custom list library there are 5 RTF fields (Notes1, Notes2, Notes3, Notes4, Notes5) there are other plain text fields, date fields, and other field types in the form
We use a HTML table to make the email look like the InfoPath form, so when the users fill out the form and they get the email notification everything looks the same.
Our problem is the EXTRA LINE SPACE in the RTF look up values
We want to remove any leading spaces, and line spaces between HTML table cells
Our Workflow has the HTML in a Workflow variable, as you know it does not support remote CSS it has to be in-line style for any formatting we want all cells to have
valign="top" the email should align at the top of the cell, all field types do except the RTF look up values they make the email look bad and they contain a lot of white space.
Please test this in your enviroment
<table>
<tr><td>Title:</td><td>[%Current Item:Title%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes1%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Created by:</td><td>[%Current Item:CreatedBy%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes2%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Date Created:</td><td>[%Current Item:Created%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes3%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Modified by:</td><td>[%Current Item:ModifiedBy%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes4%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Date Modified:</td><td>[%Current Item:Modified%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes5%]</td></tr>
</table>

Hi IssackB,
perhaps you may try this article:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/f8fa2a11-9f74-4dd2-b277-21ce872fdcb2/can-we-add-rich-text-editor-to-the-sharepoint-designer-2010-workflow?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious
there are some notes that perhaps you may check:
Use the same font for all the controls to ensure consistent spacing between rows.
Choose Size from the Format menu, and then choose To Fit from the menu that appears. This adjusts the size of each control, depending on the font set for the data that appears
in the control.
NOTE: The Print Preview and Output To commands use different algorithms for calculating text width; therefore, the text may occupy more or less
space in the RTF file.
Reduce the amount of blank space above and below the report controls. Any vertical
space between the controls is converted to whole lines
in the RTF file. For example, a
space of .02 inches can increase to .1667 inches in the
RTF file.
Make sure controls on the same output row are not too close to each other or overlapping. This can cause the Output To command to omit the controls or to align the columns incorrectly
in the RTF file.
Use the Align command from the Format menu to ensure that a row of controls is aligned properly on the report. If a row of controls is not aligned properly, the Output To command may place the controls
in different rows, causing extra blank
spacein the RTF file.
and please have a check there are updates for exchange 2013 and will be available with the upcoming release of CU4 for Exchange 2013, that stated the format rtf was saved instead HTML. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2862739/en-us

User action in workflow email

Dear All,
I have a requirement, where user wants to do some action in the workflow email that goes into user's inbox.
User wants to have the option of yes/no and forcing an action on the basis of that.
How can email from workflow have this type of functionality, please suggest.
Regards,
Neerja

Hi Neerja,
I have done this long Back. Customized the program RSWUWFML2 to send the mail with Approve/Reject button with the help of HTML code.
If the user press approv/reject in outlook, called the HTML Mailto option. So it will come like as Reply mail.
If the user press, send button the mail will be routed to SAP inbox - Always to the static SAP user with the details of Approver decision and work item ID.
There is a class and it will be triggered when ever the particular SAP user receives the mail's. Using the class work item ID and approver decision will be extracted and the work item will be completed based on the approver decision.
Thanks,
Viji.

"Email link" option changes font to "Times New Roman" at end of the URL in Outlook

When using the "Email link" option in Firefox, it then calls Outlook, then inserts the title of the webpage, as well as the URL. This is a handy feature that I have been using for years, but has always had an annoying bug.
The URL in the body of the message conforms with Outlook's settings (font is Calibri 11 for me), but then Firefox also adds a space at the end of the URL, which is formatted in Times New Roman 12. I have gone through every template and setting Outlook and checked for TNR. It is nowhere to be found. This is something that Firefox is doing, and has been doing for many, many years (at least as far back as version 3.6, all the way to 17, which I'm running now.

Seems obvious now, just added the css class to the body div.

Remove ;# from Workflow Email

Hi,
I have a choice column which accepts user input. I then have a workflow which sets a variable for an email using the data from the choice column.
When sending the email the text will be surrouned by ;# (i.e. ;#choice;#)
Is there a way I can remove these symbols from the workflow email?
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,
If you are sending the email through SharePoint designer, it seems there is an option when creating the
"Define Workflow Lookup" the "Return field as" has 2 choices "As String" and "Lookup Value (as Text)".
If you use As String then it will append the ;#. If you instead choose
Lookup Value (as Text) then it is only the value.

Format option does not work in reply mode re Bt Ya...

Hi There - I wonder if anyone has had this problem? When clicking on reply to a recipient's email I find that the format option does not work! (I use this to highlight my reply in a different text colour) It works fine when I compose a new email msg but not when using reply.
I am finding this switch over to this 'new improved' Yahoo email a nightmare to be honest. I would never have tried it out had I known I would not be able to switch back.
Why didn't I heed that age old saying 'why fix it if it ain't broke'
I would appreciate any help.
Many Thanks
Heddybell

Hi Stephanie
Thanks for replying to me.
No - none of those. Formatting just does not work! It was as if I had not tried to format - it just did NOTHING.
However, by some miracle (and believe me it was) I have been able to return to my old BT Yahoo Classic and the problem is no more!
Wow! That 'All-new Bt Yahoo Mail' leaves a lot to be desired! Thank goodness I got out of it even there was no 'Switch Back' available. Like I said "It was a miracle'!!!!!
Thanks again
Heddybell

How to provide text formatting options to user from a text field

Hi,
My requirement is - in the interactive form, a comments field needs to be provided where user should be able to enter text with formatting options like
Headers
indentations
bold/italic
bullet points and numbers
Once user enters the formatted texts in a text field, data needs to be displayed/printed in the same format. Could you help me on how to provide these formatting options to the user for a particular text field?
I understand that once I define the text field with format XHTML (with RTF), user formatting can be captured and displayed in the same way. But I am not sure on how to provide the formatting options for the text field.
Thank you,
Madhu

Hi,
if you select a text field for Rich Text and the press Ctrl + E you'll get a bar for all available text formatting options in Acrobat/Reader.
