Description:

This step retrieves the properties of the Item (Task, User, Process Definition, Process Instance, Form Definition, Form Instance).

Usage:

Example:

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

• Create a new definition named “clsGetPropertiesDef” and open it in designer mode. 
• Drag the “getWorkflowUserID, clsSetProperties, clsGetProperties” step to the canvas.
• Connect the dots between the “Start” step and “clsGetProperties” steps, as shown above.
• Define a variable or a global to store the userID.
• Click the "getWorkflowUserId" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step and the user name. Provide a variable or global reference to store the user ID. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button to have the Copilot add new process steps that match your process description. 

• Click the "clsSetProperties" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide a variable or global that contains the userID from the previous execution. Select the item type from the dropdown list. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button to have the Copilot add new process steps that match your process description. 

• Click the button to set the properties. A pop-up window appears for configuration. Click the Add Row (+) button to insert an empty row. Enter the property name and value. Click the Save button. You may insert multiple properties by using the Add Row button. 

• Click the "clsGetProperties" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide a variable or global that contains the userID from the previous execution. Select the item type from the dropdown list. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button to have the Copilot add new process steps that match your process description. 

• Click the button to set the properties. A pop-up window appears for configuration. Click the Add Row (+) button to insert an empty row. Enter the property name and value. Click the Save button. You may insert multiple properties by using the Add Row button. 

• The “Logging” configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures workflow progress and 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 execute it. Check the step properties by rendering the process instance. The process step clsGetProperties should return the configured Item properties (Task, User, Process Definition, Process Instance, Form Definition, Form Instance). 

Definition Sample:

You may download the sample definition(s) from the link provided and later import them (drag-and-drop) into 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 the import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
