Description:
This step retrieves the open and overdue task summaries for all process instances of a given process definition.
Inputs
- processDef - process definition
- includeSub - include sub-processes
- varGlobalStore - variable/global to store summary
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “TaskSummaryProcessDef” example.
- Create a new process definition called “TaskSummaryProcessDef” and open the definition in designer mode.
- Drag a “TaskSummaryProcess” step to the canvas.
- Connect the dots between the “Start” and “TaskSummaryProcess” steps, as shown above.
- Define a variable or a global to store the result.
- Click the "TaskSummaryProcess" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Select the process definition from the drop-down list. Provide a variable or a global reference to store the open and expired task lists. 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 "TaskSummaryProcess" step to configure its "Optional" properties. Select “ON” to include the subprocesses, then click the Save 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 in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute it. Render the process instance. Click the process step. The step should retrieve the open and overdue task summary for all process instances of a process definition and store the result in a variable or a 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 the import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
