Question

Field value in a custom Stamp

Can we setup a custom stamp in LF client using a syntax that would bring a field value, e.g Payment date that is not today's date?

I tried to copy the syntax from advance search without success, maybe a wrong syntax.

The quickest workaround for this is to use the Text Box annotation instead of the Stamp - Text Box can take advantage of the full range of tokens available in workflow, and you can format it to look just like a stamp (if the stamp contained only text).

Thanks, Jim. I tried that, but could not see how to change the font type or colour. Do you know if that is possible? With a stamp, I am able to create (pretty much) an exact match to our physical stamps (specific font, red text).

You can change font size, but I don't think there's any way to change the actual font or font color using the built-in activity.

It has been a while since I posted it and it was written for LFSO 8.3, but you can see how I created dynamic stamps in workflow in a post on the old LF Forums:

Hello Bernard,

This functionality is available using Workflow! In the workflow Apply Stamp activity, you have field value tokens available to you, whereas in the Client, you only have a generic set of tokens available. Workflow can apply this stamp with the Payment Date automatically, or, if you would prefer, you can make this workflow a buisness process so that it can still be innitialted by a user form within the Client.

Hello Kathryn,

I have been unable to configure tokens to populate custom stamps using Workflow's retrieve field values tokens. We need to apply two stamps to permit approved drawings - one is a two line stamp with the department name and received date token (added field), the other is the permit approval stamp with six lines of text & the approval date token (template field) in the middle.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide examples of what the Workflow activities and corresponding stamp tokens should look like.

Thanks,

Miranda

Sorry about that, Katie's answer above is wrong. Dynamic stamps are not supported in Workflow at this time. The tokens can be used to find the stamp name, but not in its value.
