Hi,
I have a Recruitment Company customer that needs to send a timesheet to their customers every month with a current list of the people that they have employed that month and the employees change every month. I am trying to recreate it in Docuware Forms using merge forms and Workflow to populate the form but I can't see how I can get a dynamic visible list of employees onto the Form before it is then sent to the customer. I understand how to use form fields to do something similar but  the closest I can get is that it populates the list after the customer has filled the form in and the workflow then allows it to be populated with employees names but that won't work in this scenario. Has anyone tried this type of action before?

Any updates on the original question? I have a similar use case where this functionality would be valuable.

Thanks!

Hi Jonathan,

for a more or less similar use case, I could not find a solution just using DocuWare Modules, so I developed a tool which grabs data from a DocuWare Table field and fills an excel template with that data.

Problem in Forms is that table fields are still not yet supported and pre-populating fields is not really possible, you can only use select lists. Everything else has to be done in Workflow.
