Automatic stamp using Workflow

Dear All,

Is it possible to add a stamp with specific coordinates automatically with workflow? Our customer has the following request - after storing a new document in a file cabinet, an automatic number has to be generated (we are doing this using a workflow) and then a stamp containing the automatic number that was given has to be placed on the document (on the upper left corner).

 

Hello Mariya Tsvetkova,<br> <br> yes, you should be able to do that using the Platform API with the webservice activity.<br> This is the route you need to use:&#160;<br> <code>POST https://{{DocuWareServer}}/docuware/Platform/FileCabinets/{{FileCabinet-GUID}}/Documents/{{Doc-ID}}/Annotation</code><br> <br> Position is optional - if you give no position information, the API places the stamp in a convenient position, just like a normal workflow task stamp.<br> If you want to include the position, remember that the API expects twips as the unit of measurement.<br> <br> Hope this helps.<br> Greetings from Germany,<br> Simon H.

Hello Simon,<br> <br> Thank you very much for the quick reply.<br> <br> We managed to put the stamp automatically using the route&#160;POST&#160;https://{{DocuWareServer}}/docuware/Platform/FileCabinets/{{FileCabinet-GUID}}/Documents/{{Doc-ID}}/Annotation. Unfortunately, I was not able to to set a specific location where the stamp should be placed on the document by the workflow.&#160;<span style="font-size:10.0pt;"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;">It always depends on the document itself.</span></span><br> <br> If somebody has figured it out, It will be great to share a sample JSON containing the twips mentioned above.<br> <br> Best Regards,<br> <br> Mariya<br> &#160;

Good afternoon,

To specify the location of the stamp in a document, you must specify it in the "HTTP body."
I've attached an example of the stamp location:

{
 "Annotations": [
  {
   "PageNumber": 0,
   "SectionNumber": 0,
   "AnnotationsPlacement": {
    "Items": [
     {
      "$type": "StampPlacement",
      "Location": {
       "X": "2500",
       "Y": "12000",
       "Width": 2000,
       "Height": 2000
      },
      "StampId": "6981b855-d672-4e38-8eab-b50abc8a3d6b",
      "Layer": 1,
      "Field": [
       {
        "Name": "<#1>",
        "TypedValue": {
         "Item": "*Test007*"
        },
        "Value": "Jenkins"
       }
      ],
      "Password": null
     }
    ]
   }
  }
 ]
}

Best Regards
