Question

Checkbox Values in workflow

asked on July 1, 2018

Hi All,

 

I've got a client performing bond cleans, and I am trying to auto populate data from a quote form, onto a work order form which is filled out via the Fill Out PDF Form in workflow.

 

What I'm trying to achieve:

Retrieve the checkbox values, and allow them to be used in workflow to populate a PDF.

 

I'll break this question up into 2 different parts to make it a little easier to understand what I'm trying to accomplish.

 

Part 1. 

Client fills out a quote form and checks any amount of the below checkboxes

This quote form is then sent to workflow to populate a work order form such as below:

I'm trying to auto populate the "Notes Section:" to list checkbox values down the page.

E.g. If Commercial Cleaning, Window Cleaning, Pest Control and Surface Clean were ticked, the work order notes section would populate as below - 

Notes Section:

Commercial Cleaning
Window Cleaning
Pest Control
Surface Clean

 

In the quote form, I have set each checkbox to have a value. Below is the workflow I am using:

When I look into the track token, this is how the value is output:

 

When I use this token in the fill out PDF form, It only retrieves the first line (example in the work order screenshot)

I believe this is probably due to the fact it's a multi value token, and not a single value dropped to multiple lines?

 

How would I best achieve this?

 

Part 2.

When the client fills out the quote form and ticks a checkbox, this then displays a new section to allow for notes to be filled out for the work order. Example below:

 

Ideally, I would like the Notes in the above screenshot to automatically be placed next to the clean selected in the Notes Section of the work order form.

E.g.

Notes Section:

Fridge Clean - To be completed on 15/7/18 (Double Door)

Oven Clean - Requires full clean on day of bond clean

etc

 

The issue is attempting to line these up together using the Fill Out PDF form (without adding loads of unnecessary blank spaces too)

 

Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you!

Thanks for the replies,

I ended up using the For Each Value -> Conditional decision to see what was checked. If it was checked I would give the token a manual value of the clean that was checked, followed by retrieving the notes to be included in that line.

 

I then used the suggestions above for the index applied on Line Break.

Shane, Part I you would want to use the index of the content of the multi-value field something like in this post https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/78596/Workflow-activities-to-create-shortcuts-for-each-value-of-a-multi-value-field#repliestomain.

Part II - I'm not familiar with the write to PDF option, but if you have the ability to set columns, then you could step through the values in the Cleaning Options and Cleaning Options Notes fields, using the index, to fill out each column.  Alternately, you could use the index to provide information in format below:

Fridge Clean

         To be completed on 5/17/18...

Oven Clean

          Requires full clean...

Try to go into the token dialogue window and check the following items that are highlighted in the screen capture and see if that works.
