Example:

Let’s build and execute the “clsGetDetailPropertiesDef” example.  

  • Create a new definition called “clsGetDetailPropertiesDef” and open the definition in designer mode. 
  • Drag a "clsGetDetailProperties" step to the canvas.
  • Connect the dots between the “Start” and "clsGetDetailProperties" steps, as shown above. 
  • Define a variable or a global to store the result.
  • Click the "clsGetDetailProperties" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide the item GUID value. Select the item type (task, user, process definition, process instance, form definition, form instance). Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button for the Copilot to add new process steps that match your process description. 

 

  • Click the button to configure the detailed properties you want to retrieve. A pop-up window is displayed for configuration. Click the Add Row (+) button to insert an empty row. Provide the column name (property name) from the deUserDetails table. Provide a variable or global reference to store the result after execution. Click the Save button. You may insert multiple properties by using the Add Row button. 

 

  • The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

 

  • Save the process definition, create a new instance, and then execute it.  The process step should retrieve the item detail properties and store them in a variable or global as configured. 

 

Definition Sample:

You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import them (drag-and-drop) to your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page. 

Note: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections, after import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
