I have something I’m trying to accomplish that could really be beneficial. I have a list with workflows that generates items in 3 other lists when an item is created. So let’s call the source list, “Master List”. The other lists are “1”, “2”, “3”. They are all part of a fairly large automation and collaboration process. All the lists work together and write back to each other exactly as they should. What I want to do is to generate and email upon creation that sends a user links to all 4 lists. This way, all relevant lists pertaining to one project can be kept in one place for that user to reference. I know how to create a link to the master list. I just don’t know how to add links to the other 3 lists, especially since they are created(along with their links) until the workflow has finished. I think I can pause for 5 minutes, then send the link. I just don’t know how to generate the other 3 links automatically for different lists.
Ok, I see what you’re saying. The problem is(and I should have mentioned this) that one of the list items is not always generated. It is conditionally generated. So I definitely don’t live in a perfect world…..lol.
Hey,
In a perfect automation process, you would have the same numbers of list items in all 4 lists (or at least you would know how to calculate it :P). So, you could build the ID somehow.
For example:
http://site/subsite/Lists/yourlistname/DispForm.aspx?ID=5
If you use VS, you could always get the list, find the item url from there and then send it, but above is the easier way with SP Designer :).
Hope it helps!
