GETFORMDATA Workflow Application

Overview

The GETFORMDATA workflow application lets you retrieve form field values for a specified request. It is useful when you need to retrieve form data which is not mapped to process data.

GETFORMDATA can only be used with TEXT, NUMERIC, and DATETIME type fields and data.

Using default and other parameters

Request

The required parameter request is REQUEST_ID (IN, numeric), the request ID that contains the process data to retrieve.

Activity

The required parameter is REQUEST_ID (IN, numeric), the request ID that contains the process data to retrieve.

The optional parameter is FORM_DATA_NAME (IN, text), the process data name that contains the form data to query. By default, GETFORMDATA uses the FORM_DATA process name.

The other parameters are defined in the workflow action according to your needs:

Parameter name: the form field full ID (e.g. REQUEST_AMOUNT)

Receive value into: the process data to update

Example:

To retrieve the value of the REQUEST_COMPANY form field into the CUSTOMER_COMPANY process data , the process data and the field data types must be the same. You may have to add an exception management to handle possible errors (e.g. invalid request ID).
