- barcodeType – select the type of barcode, QR, etc
- textVarGlobal – variable or global to hold the barcode text
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “getBarcodeTextDef” example.
- Create a new definition called “getBarcodeTextDef”
- Select the definition and click the “design” button
- Drag a “getBarcodeText” step to the canvas
- Connect the dots between the Start and “getBarcodeText” step
- Define a variable/global to store the result
- Click the "getBarcodeText" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide a barcode image file path on the application server. Provide a variable/global to hold the result text. Click the Save button.
- Click the "getBarcodeText" step to configure its "Optional" properties. Select the barcode type from the drop-down list. Click the Save button.
- 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 on the process step to view the properties. The step should recognize the text represented by the barcode image.
Definition Sample:
You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and 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.
