spCreateDocument Step
Description:
This step is used to create a new document on the SharePoint site.
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “spCreateDocumentDef” example.
- Create a new definition called “spCreateDocumentDef.”
- Select the definition and click the “design” button
- Drag a “spCreateDocument” step from the toolbox
- Connect the dots between the Start and “spCreateDocument” step
- Click the “spCreateDocument” step to configure its “Settings” properties. Provide a name to the step. Provide a base URL for the SharePoint site. Select the SharePoint provider from the dropdown list. Provide the source file name and the application server path to be uploaded. Provide a file path to save the document on the SharePoint site. Provide a variable/global to store the result. 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 process instance, and execute. The process shall create a document in the SharePoint folder.
Definition Sample:
You may download the ZIP file and extract the sample definition(s) from the link here. Then, you can 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.
