Description:
This step generates a random number within the high and low range values.
Inputs
- lowValue – low value
- highValue - high value
- varGlobal – variable/global to store the random number
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “randomDef” example.
- Create a new definition called “randomDef ”
- Select the definition and click the “design” button
- Drag a “Random” step to the canvas
- Connect the dots between the Start and the “Random” step
- Define a variable/global to store the random number generated
- Click the “Random” step to configure its “Required” properties. Provide a step name. Provide a high-value number. Provide the variable/global to store the generated random number. Click the Save button.
- Click the “random” step to configure its “Settings” properties. Provide a low-value number. Click the Save button to confirm.
- 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. Render the process instance. Click the Random process step to view its properties. The step should generate the random number.
- Here's another workflow process generating a different random number in a loop.
Definition Sample:
You may download the ZIP file and extract the sample definition(s) from the link here. Then, you can later import it (drag-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.
