Description:

This step fetches the Form field values using the Form Instance ID.

Usage:

Example:

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

• Create a new Form Definition named “getFormFieldValuesDef” and open it in designer mode. 
• Drag the “bootstrapGrid, Labels, Textboxes, TextArea, Date, and Submit” controls and arrange them as shown below. Then save the Form definition.

• Create a new Process Definition called “getFormFieldValuesDef” and open the definition in designer mode. 

• Drag a “routeForm, getFormFieldValues” step to the canvas.
• Connect the dots between the “Start” step and other steps, as shown above.
• Define the variables and globals to store the Form field values.
• Click the “routeForm” step to configure its “Required” properties. Select the Form Definition from the drop-down list above. Configure the routing user on the “Advanced” tab. Provide a variable or global to store the Form Instance 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 “getFormFieldValues” step to configure its “Required” properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide a variable or global reference to store the Form Instance ID. Click the button to map Form fields to variables or globals. Select the Form definition from the drop-down list. 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 map Form fields to variables or globals. Click the Add Row (+) button to insert an empty row. Select the Form field value from the list, then enter a variable or global value. Click the Save button. You may insert multiple mappings 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 then execute it. The process instance is sleeping, and the Form task is assigned to the configured user.

• Navigate to the Engage - Tasks page to view the Form Task. 

• Click the Form task to render the Form. Enter the values and submit the Form. 

• The process instance completes with the “getFormFieldValues” step. Click the step to view its properties. The step retrieves form field values and assigns them to a variable or global.

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.
