Inserting tables in the task description

[Mark Pyc]

G'day Carmen,

This all gets a little painful. As long as your requirements don't preclude 
use of the technique (e.g. is it necessary for the data to be sent out in an 
email per Workitem? Will the users be workign via Portal?) it is often 
easier to create a method which displays the data in a report format and 
call that method as a secondary method. The user will be presented with the 
data with as much formatting as you want, possibly with drill-down (double 
click) functionality etc.

If it's a possibility I find it much neater.

Have fun,
Mark

Hi all

I'm trying to insert a table of values, from the workflow container, to a 
workflow task description to be sent our users.

As the table does not have field headings, I need to format the output to 
make it understandable.

I've tried to export each field as a new table and inserted  'all lines as 
cont. text', one field under another; however, the fields do not align 
nicely due to their varying lengths.
E.g.
&ITEM[]&
&VALUE[]&

Each record from these individual field tables can be also written one by 
one, by specifying the record number e.g. Item: &ITEM[1]& for the first 
record.

Is it possible to have a loop to define how many records are written to the 
task description?

I'd really appreciate any other ideas on how to go about this.

Thanks

Carmen
