    I am using the delivered trigger for EMSS to generate an email but what I need to do also is make sure the address is capitalized, it's an HR thing, it seems though that the update to the address field has already taken place when the trigger kicks off the flow. I know I can capitalize the address with Jscript but I don't know how to do it with the delivered flow??? We are using PFI and are new to using the flows. Any help is appreciated.

      Do you mean that you want the email address capitalized on HR11, or just in the message itself?
      Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

        John, sorry I was not clear on my original message. What we want is the address capitalized that is being updated on HR11 through the EMSS Move Event.

          The HR11 field does not have database rules to require capitalized email addresses. You will need to have the processflow collect the variable, change the value and then re-write the value to the field using "toUpperCase()"

          You should be able to calculate the new value using an assign node and then an AGS node to "change" the value... Are you using a flow that Lawson "delivered" for the move event? I don't remember ever looking at a delivered flow for moves. We created a custom address change flow.

          I would be willing to talk with you about making changes to the flow so that it will capitalize the email address. (This should not be a very involved change.)

            Daniel,
            You are correct, the actual update to the address on HR11 has already occured before the flow runs. I had the same issue here except HR wants a specific phone number format.

            Since the delivered Flow contains the information needed (through the qEMP query), I just modified the flow to re-update HR11 after formatting the number the way they wanted. I also added the funtionality to update the employee's address on their AP10 vendor record - which AP insisted on having capitalized. I used new variables and the "toUpperCase()" like Shane mentioned : "capApNew1 = qEMP_ADDR1.toUpperCase()"

            If you didn't want to modify the Flow, you could modify the HTML code for homeaddress.htm (I think that is the Move/Address change page) to capitalize the data before loading it via the AGS call it uses.
