Hi
Is there any way to know who assigned a form to him/herself by clicking on the “Assign to me.” button.
I need to show on the form after form submission who will be working on the form.
Thanks
Is this a business process?
If so, you can use a find user activity. Select "A user from a token" in the properties pane. Under global youll see initiator. Then filter by username or however you want. Use the resulting token to fill out a line in the metadata.
Hi Richard,
Thanks for the input.
It is not a Business Process. It is a simple form that gets submitted by a requester.
The submitted form is sent to a group of individuals using "User Task" activity in the process diagram. Only one person from the group can assign the form to himself to work on it.
Once work is done, the form is submitted back to the initial requester. At this time, I need to display the name of the person who had worked on the form.
I am using fs_submitter to send the task back to the person who assigned the form to himself.
I tried to use fs_submitter as a default value for a text box, but that did not work.
Any idea.
Thanks
When you are in forms you could add a Field which is read only and the default value is the {/_currentuser_display} then once submitted the next form has the same field however it has the {/dataset/Name} (Variable of the field on the first form as read only) once submitted it would write the data to the variable and be able to used later on in the process.
This seems to work for me.
Hi Anthony,
Somehow, {/_currentuser_display} retains the name of the user who initiated the form. Even though, the form is resubmitted by another user.
I checked the variable value that was assigned to the text box with {/_currentuser_display} as the default value by including it in an email.
The variable contains the name of the form initiator.
Removing text box to read-only status did not make any difference.
Any idea on why the form is behaving like that?
Thanks
Hi Richard
The way i implement this, i use two forms, the first form has current user, which records the initiator this is a field with a variable of say UName.
I then have a second form that has two fields on, the first of these fields will be the initiator field from the variable list however, I will take out the default value mark it as read only, as the variable will be recorded on the first form and will not need to be entered/altered. I then record the current_User in a separate field called approver, so that it records the second user, if there was a third form in the process and i needed all the approvers on the form then i would go about them the same way.
