Using a Timer when attaching a document

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 248

Hello.

 

I would like to add a timer that starts when the user uploads a document to the form and then (if possible) resets if another document is added.  This would also have the submit grayed out until the timer runs down to zero.

 

We are finding that the users are not allowing enough time for the documents to upload completely.  This is causing the workflow to send the emails without the attachments even though the attachments are on the Sharepoint list.

 

Thanks everyone.

    You could use the OnAddFile property of the Attachment control to set a variable that would be used in the save button's DisplayMode property to set it to disabled and then start a timer. You would then use the Timer's OnTimerEnd property to change the variable, so the button DisplayMode is Edit again.
