Description:
This step fetches the Form field values by the Form Instance ID.
Inputs
- formInstanceID – Variable that holds the form instance ID
- fieldMappings – Mapping of values to fields
- formID - Select Form Definition
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “getFormFieldValuesDef” example.
- Create a new Form Definition called “getFormFieldValuesDef”
- Select the definition and click the “design” button
- Drag the “bootstrapGrid, labels, textboxes, text area, date, and submit” controls and arrange them as below. Save the form configuration.
- Create a new Process Definition called “getFormFieldValuesDef”
- Select the definition and click the “design” button
- Drag a “routeForm, getFormFieldValues” steps from the toolbox
- Connect the dots between the Start and other steps as shown above
- Define the variables/globals as below to store the form field values during execution
- Click the “routeForm” step to configure its “Required” properties. Select the above form definition from the drop-down list. Configure the user to route in the “Advanced” tab. Provide a variable/global to store the form instance ID. Click the Save button.
- Click on the “getFormFieldValues” step to configure its “Required” properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide the variable/global reference to hold the form instance ID. Click the button to map the Form fields to variables/globals. Select the Form definition from the drop-down list. Click the Save button.
- Click the button to map the Form fields to variables/globals. Click the Add Row button to insert an empty row. Select the Form field value from the list and provide a variable/global value. Click the save button. You may insert multiple mappings 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 in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute. The process instance is sleeping, and the Form task is assigned to the user configured.
- Navigate to the Engage - Tasks page to view the Form Task.
- Click the Form task to render the Form. Provide the values and submit the Form.
- The process instance completes with “getFormFieldValues” step. Click the process step to view its properties. The step gets form field values and assigns them to a given variable or global.
