I'm looking for a way to include the name (first and last) of the person who created a case as a process variable, so that person's name can be easily displayed on forms, etc. throughout the workflow. Can this be done with a trigger (and if so, how)? Or some other method?

Thanks in advance!

Create a trigger with the following code:

Code: Select all

$aUser = userInfo(@@USER_LOGGED);
@@caseCreator = $aUser['firstname'] . ' ' . $aUser['firstname'] . ' (' . $aUser['username'] . ')';

Then set the trigger to fire during the first task of your process.

In subsequent tasks you can display this information in any DynaForm. In PM 2, create a read-only textbox in your form named "caseCreator" and the information will be displayed. In PM 3, create a string variable named "caseCreator" and assign it to a read-only textbox.

Great, thanks so much!

I'd also like to do the same with the case creator's email address... would this code be correct?

Code: Select all

$aUser = userInfo(@@USER_LOGGED);
@@caseCreatorEmail = $aUser['email'];
