Hi Manfred,
I have tried your steps of converting repeating section to HTML format and storing in a workflow variable.
Everything works perfect ! And, i see the result in HTML format. I have small issue here, I want to display repeating section in HTML format on 'Workflow Task Form' .
But when I show the 'WorkflowVariable_HTML' on my task form, it is just getting displayed as plain HTML. Even I tried this, In nintex form designer, under General Controls --> There is a 'Rich Text' control listed --> Utilizing this and 'In settings', I linked this control to 'WorkflowVariable_HTML', but no luck. Any work around for this?
The reason for showing this on 'Task Form' because, all my approvers open this task form to approve and they want to see all fields on this form.
Hi Nagarjuna,
to get HTML rendered in Form created a Single Line Textbox control, insert by Insert Referenz WorkflowVariable_HTML variable containing the html coding and give it a Client ID JavaScript variable name, e.g. html_var.
. The control itself has to be made invisible on the form by css. Also create a Rich Text control and give it CSS class render_html and by JQuery the html content of the control will be replaced by the content of Your HTML variable:
NWF$(document).ready(function () {
NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () {
try {
NWF$('.render_html').html(NWF$('#'+ html_var).val());
} catch (err) { }});
});
But in Your case it it better to assign Repeating section control to a workflow variable and define Repeating section with controls also in Task Forms and assign it to same workflow variable. This way repeating section is shown same in all Forms.
Kind regards
Manfred
Hi Manfred,
I have tried your first approach and it worked perfectly well. Now, i am able to show HTML formatted table on 'Workflow Notification Form'.
Apart, I have two small issues here,
1. If a table row is blank, next row is binding its position..
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="last_name" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="company" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</td>
If 'last_name' is returned blank, 'Company' records are showing under 'last_name' header, leaving 'Company' blank. Is there way to check for blank row and replace it with 'N/A' ? In my case, this is what i am seeing..
Actually, 'Task Profile' row need to be left blank and the dates should be under 'Date Of Job'
2. Second thing, if you see my date, it is getting returned as '01/03/2017 00:00:00'. Can we parse it and get only '01/03/2017' ?
Thank you so much for your help.
take a look at Tricky whitespace handling in XSLT (xsl:preserve-space)
and search for 'xslt format date'.
Hi Manfred Lauer,
How do we filter by company and only insert those companies in the email?
replace
<xsl:for-each select="//Items/Item">
by
<xsl:for-each select="//Items/Item[company='companyname2filter']">
Thank you Manfred Lauer, that helped!
