Variable Field (form components)

Workflow variables serve as a connecting data layer between workflows and other workflows, profiles and ETL entries.

In addition, they can be used in the conditions of transitions, for example, to control the course of the workflow.

(1) A workflow variable must be selected. The appearance of the field in the form depends on the data type of the variable . Examples: Boolean is displayed as a checkbox, Blob as a large field with HTML editor, Date as a field with calendar selection, Timestamp as a field with calendar selection and time selection. The formatting of numeric and date values depends on the language you have logged in with. Note: Use the form test (6).

(2) A language key can be specified here. If it is defined in the dictionary, its value (matching the language in which you logged in) is used instead of the name of the workflow variable field. The icon on the right can be used to select a key directly from the dictionary.

(3) If this checkbox is set, the field in the form must be filled in for the state to be able to change.

(4) CSS properties can be inserted via the context menu. There are already some entries available that can be used to control the appearance of the field.

Read only

The value of the workflow variable is displayed but cannot be changed.

Possible values

Selection values can be specified. If no radio buttons are defined, a selection list is displayed.

Radio buttons

Radio buttons are displayed for the field (horizontal or vertical). However, possible values must also be specified for this.

Tooltip

A language key can be specified here. If it is defined in the dictionary, its value (matching the language in which you logged in) is shown as tooltip of the field.

(5) Via another dialogue, multiple workflow variable fields can be inserted at the same time.

(6) Here you can test how your form will look like.
