Hi,

I have a process model with a user task.

user task has a Rich text editor, where user uploads the images but leaves the form without submission.

Issue is, how to delete the uploaded images/documents based on timer - 1hr.

I have tried exception flow on UIT, but the user enter docs data/Ids are not received into process var.

Is there a way to get the document IDs by using process instance Id?

Thanks,

Keerthi

Exceptions:- The exceptions tab lets designers create alternative workflows from an activity based on configured conditions. The exception tab appears on all non-event and non-gateway activities. We can configure the Exceptions based on Timer Event, Rule Event, and Receive Message Event

User input task exception tab:

Click on configure tab : set timer to 60 mins

Thanks Abhishek, I already tried exception flow based on timer. I am not getting the document IDs uploaded in the user task. I have a process var DocIds mapped to rule input DocIds of user task.

I think when you upload. The images are not stored in Appian may be

The only option I see, is to upload the documents to a temp folder, and then, after a real submission, move them to the final folder. Then you can use a scheduled process to delete the orphan documents.

This is a good idea but using Advanced Rich Text editor, we can configure a fixed folder to save the uploaded docs. Is there a way we can give a folderId as well?

I think that this will also accept a dynamic folder which you created earlier.
