    Hi I have developed one form which JOtform team really support me on this . really Appreciated . 

    and i'd like to adjust sth , but looks like the condition and email i set didn't really well cooperated. 

    1st Step : User Request Form (User fill the form and send email to Production Team Leader ) - I have done 1st Step , while i receive email address when the User assign to Production team leader , 

    2nd Step : Production Team Leader - Eng Team Leader ( Production Team Leader filled the form and assign to Eng Team Leader ) - Once i complete the form I assign to Eng Team Leader and i receive the email "Close" rather than Engineering Team leader receive an email , Can you help which part i made mistake ?

    3rd Step : Eng Team Leader - Technician ( Engineering Fill the Form and assign to Technician ) - Can you please help to make sure once the Engineering Team leader receive an email and Assign to Technician 

    4th Step : Approve by Technician ( Technician Received Email and Click approve or Reject ) - Can you please help to make sure once the Technician receive an email , he can click Approve or Reject as the form appear 

    5th : Completed by Technician ( Technician After Approve will receive email again to Complete the Request ) - Once the technician Approve , the email will come back to him again to complete the Request 

    6th Step : Close by ReQuester - Once technician Approved , all the information will passed to Requesters to Close the Request 

    I'll be delighted , if you can clone my form and set all the condition i made mistakes in the current form here. while recently there're mistake sending in wrong email which i have no clue which are should i start. 


    thx

    If I am not mistaken I think this post was a continuation of your previous thread here 

    https://www.jotform.com/answers/1632496

    I reviewed that thread and I admit it became very difficult to follow what stages and status the workflow conditions were at.

    It will be better if this new thread will not fall on the same state also.

    The workflow process and conditions you wanted to come up with appears to be more complex than just the 6 steps you have mentioned. 

    Initially, perhaps the problem can be resolved if you can just revert the form to the version which you know was the working version.

    I'll be delighted , if you can clone my form and set all the condition i made mistakes in the current form here. while recently there're mistake sending in wrong email which i have no clue which are should i start.

    Can you please tell us the URL of the form. We need to identify the correct form.

    I suggest you also clone the form to have another copy of its latest version.

    Then you can use the Revision History tool to revert the original form to the previous version that you think was working correctly.

    How to View Form Revision History

    Please try revision process first and let us check if you are able to revert the form to previous working version.

    We will wait for your updated response.

    My suggestion to not make any more changes to your original form and try the revision history first like what my colleague suggests.

    Also, since we'll be working with your form's condition, I need you to provide us the detailed workflow.

    ex.

    1). User fill the form and send email to Production Team Leader — Email goes to teamleader@email.com

    2). Production Team Leader filled the form and assign to Eng Team Leader — Email goes to engineerteamleader@email.com 

    and so on... 

    I need you to specify what conditions and where you want it to go. Rather that going back to your previous thread, it would be best to tell us the workflow in this thread.

    There are 3 things that we need know before we proceed on troubleshooting the form.

    1). Clarify to us where you want the email to go in your Change Email Recipient conditions.

    2). If you have issues with show and hide, specify them which field shows on certain steps.

    ex. on Step 2,  Production Team Leader fills the form and I want these fields to appear.

    Disregard if you have no issues with conditions.

    3). Same with #2, if you have issues with inserting values into a field on a condition, specify them clearly on what condition and values you want them to insert.

    I'm asking these information from you so it would be clear on us what works / not works and what updates need to be done on your form rather than going back and forth.

    Looking forward for your response.

    Could you let us know which of the step in your flow is not working? Also point the conditions that should be involved. I have inspected your form, and I could not find a condition nor the notification for this requirement:

    "1st Step: 


    **Category Field : Once the user click on General Breakdown - Email goes to productionteamleader@email.com.kh with the Link URL Attached to click to the form of 2nd Step

    So, you will need to create a notification for the "productionteamleader@email.com.kh" recipient, please follow this guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/25-Setting-up-Email-Notifications

    Then, please follow this guide to create the condition to send it: https://www.jotform.com/help/167-How-to-Send-Email-Based-on-User-s-Answer


    Also, for the following requirement:

    "2nd Step : Production Team Leader - Eng Team Leader : Production Team Leader received the Email Notification from requester with the link attached , he/she clicks on it , and see the fields show from 1st Step to the 2nd Step with Confirm or Reject , Once he confirms on it - Email goes to Eng Team Leader . Once he clicks Reject , Email goes to Requester directly"

    The Reject email will not be sent because the "Send on edit" advanced option is not enabled:

    1555040023enable Screenshot 10


    It is noticeable that this form is very complex, We would recommend you to test each of the steps at a time in order to figure out what is missing or not working.

    In addition to this, could you confirm if you already tried reverting the form to a previous working version?

    hi Jed , 

    the purpose of this form , is the requester asking support from Technician team to fix the issue at Line Machine. once the Technician fix the issue , he needs requester to close the case.

    ( I have test the form As the Requester and Assign to Production Team Leader , This is Success)


    2nd Step Production Team Leader - Eng Team Leader : Production Team Leader received the Email Notification from requester with the link attached , he/she clicks on it , and see the fields show from 1st Step to the 2nd Step with Confirm or Reject , Once he confirms on it - Email goes to Eng Team Leader . Once he clicks Reject , Email goes to Requester directly .

    (It is success , i have received Email Notification from Requester and i will assign to Engineering Team)

    3rd Step : Eng Team Leader - Technician ( Engineering Fill the Form and assign to Technician ) He received an email with the link attached to be clicked , the link he clicks appear the fields shown from 01st , 02nd and 3rd Steps . Once he Confirm on it -  Email goes to Technician. Once he reject , Email goes to Requester directly.

    (Step 3 : It failed , I haven't seen the Email notification from Production Team leader to Me as Eng Team Leader )


    I have Follow all of the instruction with the previous form , and follow the sample too. but it failed to succeed it , i have no idea , what's going on there. 

    You get what i mean ? I have told the flow where the email goes alr. 

    let me know if you need further explanation.

    I cloned your form in order for testing, but this part:

    2nd Step : Production Team Leader - Eng Team Leader : Production Team Leader received the Email Notification from requester with the link attached , he/she clicks on it , and see the fields show from 1st Step to the 2nd Step with Confirm or Reject , Once he confirms on it - Email goes to Eng Team Leader . Once he clicks Reject , Email goes to Requester directly .

    (It is success , i have received Email Notification from Requester and i will assign to Engineering Team) 

    I don't see a condition that does that.

    The only condition related I see is:

    15550579612019 04 12 10 30 24 Screenshot 10

    But I'm not sure that is the one.

    Shouldn't there be a condition that would send such email if "Confirm or Reject " is equal to Confirm?

    In that way, your second email would be sent to Eng Team Leader.

    We'll wait for your response.

    Thank you!

    Your stage=four Show/Hide condition is like this

    1555155160zzz 2019 04 13 19 Screenshot 10


    As you can see "30.Close-Requester" was not included in Show Multiple condition.

    When is the time "30.Close-Requester" should be shown?


    Once you have identified the time it should be shown, you will be able to understand that you don't need it included in stage=four condition.

    Hi Jonathan, the condition set it right. The 30.Close... can only be shown in Stage=five. 

    But once I jump into Stage=four . This also appear.

    The field appears without the stage parameter in the edit URL. Check again: https://www.jotform.com/edit/4309512616859289503.

    I checked your form, you have a condition to show this section if some of the email addresses fields are filled. See screenshot below:

    15551732782019 04 14 001 Screenshot 10

    You have to exclude the section from the mentioned condition to fix the problem.

    If you meant, this condition kicks in: 

    1555307545Screen Shot 2019 04 15 at 7 Screenshot 10

    I checked the stage four condition that is shown to the user, and conditions that trigger stage 5:

    1555308971Screen Shot 2019 04 15 at 8 Screenshot 21

    If you go to this link https://www.jotform.com/edit/4309512616859289503?stage=four

    This is how the fields are shown:

    1555309032Screen Shot 2019 04 15 at 8 Screenshot 32

    So the condition is not true. 

    I'm not sure if it could work for you to deselect "Close by requesters" at that point?

    hi nik , i have changed it , the email i have received with link attached over the Stage=four condition , while it should be stage=five condition. you see below yellow highlight , "Complete" , this is email notification telling you , the technicians have completed the job , and please click link to "Close " the case , But the Link it attached is the link on Stage=four. 

    let me know if you need further explanation.

    So, the user receives an email in stage 4 and clicks the link to complete the job: https://eu.jotform.com/edit/4311099506854129460?stage=four, and that's the link in the email currently.

    Once he does that, an email for stage 5 should be sent if I understood you right, but it is not, instead he gets stage 4 link correct?

    These are the conditions related:

    15553177112019 04 15 10 38 14 Screenshot 10

    Approve or Reject is filled:

    15553177482019 04 15 10 42 10 Screenshot 21

    And that's why stage 4 email is sent again. So you should include one more condition there to prevent that.

    Now, regarding the stage 5 email not being sent, I checked it, and it is sent to Requesters email address, I checked that field further and it is filled by this condition:

    15553190882019 04 15 11 04 01 Screenshot 32

    I revealed it for a moment and used the link again, but the field is not filled, it's empty:

    15553191322019 04 15 10 59 35 Screenshot 43

    And that's because the POP UP email address is empty as well, but even if you fill it, it fills with this data:

    15553191642019 04 15 10 59 57 Screenshot 54

    And you're sending email to that value which is not email.

    So please check that condition and change it so emails are used in that field.

    Let us know how it worked.

    Thank you!
