Assigning Global Date Token to Custom-made Stamp not working

Workflow
Updated April 8
asked on June 4, 2014

Hi Everyone:

 

So I am attempting to create a new Stamp, and this stamp has the Date as a value. (the "%(DATE)" token.)

 

When I apply the stamp manually, that is, clicking on the stamp and applying it to a document it works just fine. It will assign todays date. However, when I have workflow assign it, it just returns the syntax "%(DATE)". Has anyone encountered a similar problem? It looks like all of my workflow config is correct.

Please review the Workflow help file pertaining to stamps. Under the Stamp Options section, there is a note that states

 

Note: This activity can only use public stamps that do not include Laserfiche tokens (e.g., %(Parent)). You cannot use custom stamps that include one or more tokens nor create a custom stamp with this activity. More information. You also cannot use private stamps, even if the stamps are owned by the Workflow User.

As a possible alternative, you can use the Add Text Box activity in Workflow to place a text box containing the %(Date) onto a specific location on your document image

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give this a whirl and let you know how it goes.

This would work in an application I need but is there a way to lock the text box so no changes can be made to it?

If you mark the Text Box as "protected" in the Workflow activity, the text box will only be able to be modified by the user that created the text box (in this case the Workflow user) or by the document owner.
