evalKeywordDBDecisionTable Step

Description:

This step evaluates a sentence against a DB value as a “MATCH” or "NO MATCH". 

 

Inputs

  • tableName – Decision DB table name
  • searchText – Search text
  • inputDBCol – DB Input Column
  • outputDBCols – Db Output Columns
  • defaultValues – Default values if no match is found
 

 

Returns

  • Matched – evaluation finds a match
  • NoMatch – evaluation does not find a match
 

 

 

Usage:

 

 

Example:

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

  • Create a new process definition named “evalKeywordDBDecisionTableDef” and open it in designer mode. 
  • Drag an “evalKeywordDBDecisionTable” step to the canvas. 
  • Connect the dots between the “Start” and “evalKeywordDBDecisionTable” steps, as shown above. 
  • Define a variable or a global to store the result.
  • Click the "evalKeywordDBDecisionTable" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide a table name for the decision evaluation. Provide a search text. Provide the input column that contains the search text. Click the button to map the DB output columns. 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 the DB output columns. Click the Add Row (+) button to insert an empty row. Enter the output DB column and the variable or global reference to map. Click the Save button. You may use the Add Row button to insert multiple DB output columns and variable references. 

 

  • Click the "evalKeywordDBDecisionTable" step to configure its "Advanced" properties. Click the button to map the DB output columns. Click the Add Row (+) button to insert an empty row. Provide the output DB column and variable or global reference to map for no match. Click the Save button to confirm. You may use the Add Row button to insert multiple DB output columns and variable references. 

 

  • 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 execute it. Render the process instance. Click the process step to view its properties. The step should evaluate a sentence against a DB value, returning “MATCH” or “NO MATCH”. Below, the step properties show the values for an evaluated “MATCH”.  

 

  • Configure the process step for a no-match evaluation. Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute it. Render the process instance. Click the process step to view its properties. The step should evaluate a sentence against a DB value to return “MATCH” or “NO MATCH”. Below, the step properties show the values for an evaluated “NO MATCH”.  

 

 

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.
