Task pops-up data card making a PDF

Unread post by charlesculp »

I have generated a new task to generate a PDF to a location in the vault.

For this, I have completed some "Source" and "Destination Variable" variables in the "File Card" tab of the task properties. "Number" "Revision" "Description" and "Date." I'm not sure if I want any more yet.

The task is set to run during a transition in our drawing release workflow. When it runs, it prompts the user to fill out a data card, which contains none of the above variables filled out. I do not want it to prompt the user to fill out the data card, but I do want it to update the values based on the information stated in the task properties.

Any ideas what I am missing? I don't see any sort of setting to show a data card or not.

Oh, thank you. A straightforward solution, a little difficult to find.
