Data List Task Title in email notification

mthomas — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 21:06:54 GMT

I am trying to figure out how to add the title and description of a task to my email notification for a task addition or update. This is from a Task List created in the data lists section of a site within Share.Currently I have set up email notifications by browsing to the appropriate folder within

Anyone? I guess I could clarify that the above works in that it sends the email notification and successfully inserts the person's name into the email. What I do not know how to do is get the title or other details of the task into the email.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

You should have a top-level "document" object with all the data list's properties. e.g. document.properties["cm:title"]

Thanks. I'm not exactly clear as to what you mean. But I'll explore a little.

Thanks Mike, but I haven't found where the properties are being pulled from yet. I didn't find document.properties. Could you give me a bit of help? In my document notify scripts I have, "The document '${document.name}', has been updated in the '${space.name}' space, it was updated by ${person.properties.firstName}"
And it works. But what I don't know is where space.name, document name and person.properties.firstName are being defined. Is there a properties file somewhere?

Here you go; this should help point you in the right direction. http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/3.4_JavaScript_API

Thanks for the quick response Mike.
I was hoping for a quick "cheat-sheet" of tasks, discussion, and doclibrary template references to pull specific data.
But I guess I'll jump in head first and try to absorb the contents in the link above.

Thanks again for the info.

For anyone that is following this discussion here is what I found. To create a notification email template that will include specific details I used the following.

Task List Name: ${space.properties.title}
Task Title: ${document.properties.title}
User that added it: ${person.properties.firstName}<#if person.properties.lastName?exists> ${person.properties.lastName}</#if>.
Task description: ${document.properties.description}
Link to Task List:
<#assign ref=space.nodeRef>
<#assign displayPaths=document.displayPath?split("/")>
<#assign site=displayPaths[3]>

Hi

pavaniakella solved this one for me. I did the following

var person=document.assocs["dl:issueAssignedTo"][0];
var username=person.properties["{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}userName"];
var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
workflow.parameters.workflowName = "jbpm$wf:adhoc";
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] =  document.properties["dl:issueID"] + " - "+ document.properties.title;
workflow.parameters["bpm:assignee"] = people.getPerson(username);
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDueDate"] = document.properties["dl:issueDueDate"];
workflow.parameters["wf:notifyMe"] = true;

workflow.execute(document);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
