Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “generateOutputDocDef” example.
- Create a new definition called “generateOutputDocDef”
- Select the definition and click the “design” button
- Drag a “generateOutputDoc” step from the toolbox
- Connect the dots between the start and “generateOutputDoc” step
- Click on the “generateOutputDoc” step to configure its “Settings” properties
- Click on the button to include the rich text document content. A popup is displayed with the rich text user interface.
- Click the “generateOutputDoc” step to configure its “Advanced” properties. Provide the template path reference to use to generate the PDF document.
- 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 process instance, and execute. Render the process instance and select the step variables/properties to view.
- The PDF Document using the rich text content is rendered here for reference.
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.
