Hello All,
I want to know which user has changed the metadata in workflow and capture its login name ?
Is there a way to do same
Entry change events provide the user name as a token ("initiator" for the case where such an event starts a new workflow and "event user" for the case where such event is used in a wait condition).
Hello Miruna,
Thanks for replying to my query.
However am still confused, can you please help me out, that is,
Which workflow item i should used in my workflow to capture the user who changed the metadata.
thanks in advance
It's not clear to me what you're trying to do. Like I said above, tokens are available with the name of the user who makes changes, but it's up to you to write that data somewhere using that token.
Maybe you can give us more details on what the end goal is? If you're just trying to ensure you can report on who makes changes in the repository, then Audit Trail may be a better tool for the job.
Hello Miruna,
Let me explain to you the workflow process:
I have a workflow where users updates metadata and then the folder will move to the manager folder for approval.
Since I have several managers that can give an approval by changing the folder metadata, i want to capture which manager had given his approval, that is, which manager have updated the metadata.
How do i capture which manager have changed the metadata in workflow.
So does your workflow have a Wait for Entry change activity to know when the metadata changes?
Yes i do have a Wait for Entry activity.
How do i proceed to picked up the user who changed the metadata from there?
Thanks for your precious help
That would depend on what you want to do with that information. Once the Wait for Entry Change runs, a token with the name of the user is generated. You can use it to populate a field value or send an email and so on.
Hello Miruna,
Can you help me out where to find the token where the username of the staff is being generated.
I'll need to save this username in my database.
Thanks in advance
