Description:
This step retrieves the User's full name by their User ID.
Inputs
- userNameOrID- User name or workflow user id
- varGlobalForName- Variable/Global to hold the full name
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “getUserFullNameDef” example.
- Create a new process definition called “getUserFullNameDef” and open the definition in designer mode.
- Drag a “getUsersFullNames” step to the canvas.
- Connect the dots between the “Start” step and “getUsersFullNames” steps, as shown above.
- Define a variable or a global to store the result.
- Click the “getUsersFullNames” step to configure its “Required” properties. Provide the step name. Provide the workflow user's GUID separated by a semicolon for multiple values. Provide a variable or global reference to hold the user's full name. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button for the Copilot to add new process steps that match your process description.
- The User's GUID value is retrieved from the Administration - User Management page.
- 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 then execute it. Render the process instance. Click the process step. The process step retrieves the workflow user's full name and stores it in the variable or global.
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.
