Question

In Forms, is there a way to display the contents of all the rows of a table inside an email to an approver?

asked on November 12, 2013

I have a Form that has a business process of:

Submission - > Approver -> End

 

I want the Approver to get an email listing out in the middle of it all the rows as they appear in the submission so they have more of an idea of the content of the submission before they go to the Task in LF Forms. 

 

The values each appear as a single item, Is there any way to get this type of functionality?

You can get groups of values by referring to the column variable in the email, but I don't think there's a way to get individual values from the table cells.

 

However, even if there was a way to do that, it would probably be a bad idea to place them in a table in the email. Tables in emails can result in strange behavior, and Outlook especially tends to be terribly finnicky with complex HTML code (i.e. lots of <tr> and <td> elements). Based on experience I can guarantee that the end result would be more trouble than its worth. I recommend either figuring out another way to represent the table data in the email, or having the users view the tables on the forms themselves.

What do you mean by groups of values? Will they just all display? will there be spacing involved (or a separator) between each value?
