Run Business Process based on selection of items

asked on June 21, 2019

Hi,

I am trying to build a WF which will be run via Business Process from within the client app based on a selection of files. For each document which is selected the WF would list a specific field from that document and add it to a list which will be added to an email.

As an example, a user selects 5 files and runs the BP:

Document Name Field 1 (Case Number)

File 1 001

File 2 001

File 3 002

File 4 003

File 5 003

The email would return:

The following case numbers were selected:

001

002

003

and not

001

001 <don't need duplicates

002

003

003 <don't need duplicates

I currently can't get the starting entry to work and therefore can't setup "For Each Entry" because it requires a starting entry.

Any help would be appreciated.

For Each Entry does not require s starting entry, it requires a set of entries (usually from a Find Entries or Search Repository activity).

~~In this case, though, I'd go with a For Each Value that runs through the list of document names, finds each one, read its field and adds it to a multi-value token.~~

~~You can then run "remove duplicates" on this token before putting it in the email.~~

Sorry, I'm not sure why I read this as involving Forms. Laserfiche Business Processes can't run on a collection of documents. They can only run on a single entry (document or folder).

Ha! Don't worry. I did think, how did I miss this.

What I have done is get the BP to run against the complete folder. Which has worked. The "Remove duplicates" is a great find though - thank you!
