Description:

Use this step for evaluating simple expressions.

Usage:

Example:

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

• Create a new definition called “simpleExpressionDef” and open the definition in designer mode. 
• Drag a “updateVariables, simpleExpression” step to the canvas. 
• Connect the dots between the “Start” and other steps, as shown above
• Define a variable or a global to store the source value, the target value, and the result value.
• Click the "updateVariables" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step, then click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button to have Copilot add new process steps that match your process description. 

• Click the "updateVariables" step to configure its "Optional" properties. Click the button to configure multiple variables. A pop-up window appears for configuration. Click the Add Row button to insert an empty row. Enter the variable name and value. Click the Save button. You can add multiple variables and values using the Add Row button. 

• Click the "simpleExpression" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide variable or global references for the source and target values. Provide a variable or global reference to store the result. 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 configure the operator. A pop-up window will appear, as shown below. Select the data type (number, string, or date). Then select the operator from the drop-down list. The operator list varies by data type. The expression list for the Number data type is shown below. 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 “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 the simple expression and store the result in the variable or global as configured. 

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.
