LF Forms Process Modeler

Forms
Updated May 2, 2016
asked on April 29, 2016

Howdy Folks,

Using LF Forms 9.2 I'm trying to put together, what seemed to be a pretty simple approval flow within Form's Process Modeler, but am running into some troubles.  The problem I am having, is when the form is filled out the Forms can never find the supervisor to send the process to for approval. The field is a drop down, with the names displayed as "First Name Last Name". If I hardcode the name to a user, it works.

 

What am I missing?

So the username you add in the field values will need to be in the format of domain\username.

The value passed to the "Task Participants" has to match the username that user would use to log into Forms with. So if you have a drop-down field, you could have it display their names as you already setup, but then check the box at the bottom when editing that field that says "Assign values to choices" and for each line, enter in the corresponding username.

Appreciate the suggestion, but it failed. Are you aware of a log somewhere to see what it's really passing?

Do the users have named use licenses or participant licenses? If named, are they setup to as a Laserfiche user, Windows user, or LDAP user?

Ah, okay. I got it.

Follow-up question - is there anyway to import a list, or have a drop down box read from an SQL table?

You could copy and paste a list into the field values. With populating from SQL you are limited as you can only populate the value that is shown to the end user, not the "Assign values" portion. So to get around that, just have a hidden field that would house the username value when an option is chosen from the drop down field (it would populate from a separate database lookup).

When you say using a hidden fields, is that something build into Forms that I am overlooking, or would I need to utilize HTML/Javascript?

You can create a CSS class. We personally use one called .dontshow. So on your CSS page add the following:

.dontshow {display: none;}

Then for that field, add dontshow to the CSS field.
