Example:

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

  • Create a new process definition called “setDictionaryValueDef” and open the definition in designer mode.
  • Drag the “setDictionaryValue, getDictionaryValue, and placeHolder” step to the canvas.
  • Connect the dots between the “Start” and the other steps, as shown above.
  • Define a variable or a global to store the dictionary value and results.
  • Click the "setDictionaryValue" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide a variable or a global to store the dictionary value. Provide the key name and key value. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button to have the Copilot add new process steps that match your process description. 

 

  • 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.

 

  • Click the "getDictionaryValue" 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 the Copilot add new process steps that match your process description. 

 

  • 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 to view the variables. The “setDictionaryValue” step should set the value in the dictionary.
