random Step
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” and open the definition in designer mode.
- Drag a “Random” step to the canvas.
- Connect the dots between the “Start” and the “Random” steps, as shown above.
- Define a variable or a global to store the result.
- Click the “Random” step to configure its “Required” properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide a high-value number. Provide a variable or a global to store the generated random number. 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 “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 then execute it. Render the process instance. Click the Random process step to view its properties. The step should generate a random number.
- Here's another process generating a different random number in a loop.
Definition Sample:
You may download and extract 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 import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
