Getting "Assigned to" - user name from Action center

[Pradeep.Robot (Virags)]

Hello all,

Is there a way to fetch the user “Assigned To” after the Human in loop is completed in the Action center. I tried to get the output data object out from the wait and resume task, and i couldnt find the variable or way to get the “Assigned to” user name from the Action center.

Let me know if anyone had this situation and solved. it would be helpful. Thanks.

Hi,

Not sure if there is a simpler way to do this, but you should be able to get more info about a task by using Orchestrator HTTP Request.

Endpoint would be - “odata/Tasks(taskId)” where taskId is the action object id and in the response you have a field called AssignedToUserId.
As I imagine the UserId by itself is not exactly what you need, you can call the orchestrator for more details on that user with “odata/Users(AssignedToUserId)”.

Doing it this way is not exactly as straightforward as a theoretical ActionObject.AssignedToUser would be, but I hope it gets the job done for your usecase.

Cheers,
Bogdan

Action Center users will now receive built-in notifications through two channels, in-app and email to notify them with the most relevant events like Action assignment (bulk& single), Action forward and Action un-assignments. Users can manage their own preferences for opting-in or opting-out of these notifications from user profile itself. All cloud customers will have this feature enabled without any pre-requisites or changes in the workflow.

Hey Bogdan,

Except it doesn’t seem to work. I’m getting null values for AssignedToUser.EmailAddress and AssignedToUser.Name for a completed Form Task.

It worked fine for me when I tested it.

Maybe it’s because of the permissions. Now that you access information about users your executing user (typically robot role) needs view permissions for those to. You also need permission on Action Assignment.

This is not yet documented… (Activities - Wait for Document Validation Action and Resume)

Check this guy’s post though:

Wait For Document Data Validation Action And Resume: You are not authorized!

Hello, I had this issue for the longest time and finally got this resolved. In the ‘Robot’ Role in Orchestrator, you will need to enable “Create” and “Edit” options in the ‘Folder Permissions’ tab(Tenant>Manage Access>Roles>Edit) for the following : Storage Files Storage Buckets Action Assignment Action Catalogs Actions At first, I had all these and it still didn’t work. After testing some roles I found one other role necessary to avoid this exception which is actually under the ‘Tenant Permi…

I have full permissions to view user information.

What version of IntelligentOCR.Activities are you using?

[lukasziebold]

I’ve checked my test project for Form Tasks again and I’m not using the IntelligentOCR package there.

I’m only using the Persistence.Activities v.1.4.6 and the FormActivityLibrary v2.0.5
This is in combination with the Automation Cloud
