Find Activity and Forms Business Process Instance ID

Forms Workflow Version 10

Updated December 5, 2016

asked on December 2, 2016

I've seen lots of posts on this, but still can't make mine work. This particular post gave me some ideas and I added the input parameters as it suggested, but even with that information, my WF is terminating because it cannot find the entry.

Here's what I have now programmed into my Find Entry activity:

And here's where the form is that I want it to find: FLAGSTAFF\LFForms\Fire Permits\62_12/2/2016

WF definitely knows where this form is, as I am successfully using the Retrieve Business Process Variables activity. And I'm positive it's the date that is the issue here, but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions?

Connie,

Go to the Process Diagram for the forms process, click on the activity that is saving it to Laserfiche, and you should see the following menu:

In the document name field, it defaults to the doc name and puts the date next to it...you can just delete the date variable in the document name field and put whatever you want there.

Thanks, Rick. I currently don't have a Save to Repository activity in my Process. I took it out when I saw that it can be done from the Publishing Options page. But, I see now that if I want more control, I can add that back in. Thanks!

Another possibility? Is there a way to get Forms to save in LF without the date? So that it would look like this instead:

That might allow WF to find the right folder to look in. But, I can't see where I can tell Forms to stop placing the date in the name of these folders.
