Content

1. Type of routes2. Participant Mapping using Workflow Variable



Chapter 1

Type of routes



Routes

• Route is used to split or merge a process flow.• The 2 types of routes supported by Process Builder are:

– Exclusive (XOR)

– Parallel (AND)



Exclusive Route

• After “Activity 1”, only 1 path will be taken, either Activity 2, 3 or 4, based on matching condition.



Exclusive Route

• What if there’s no condition set at all?



Parallel Route

• After “Activity 1”, next 3 activities will be executed simultaneously.

• “Activity 5” will not be performed until Activity 2, 3, and 4 are completed.



Discussion

• List down all combinations of Join and Split type and how it would affect the process flow.



Chapter Review

1. Understand the use of Route and its configurations.



Chapter 2

Participant Mapping using Workflow Variable



Participant Mapping using Workflow Variable

• Dynamically map to participant using workflow variable.• Workflow variable may consists of:-

1. Group code2. Username3. Department code4. Head of Department (Department code)

• Supports multiple assignments. (Semicolon separated value [Eg. jack;david;clark])



Problem statement

• A new role is added to existing process but the participant can only be decided during the runtime. (In the last activity before the activity in the new role’s swimlane)



Exercise: Amend Process flow to include new Participant

• Add a new participant – HR• Add a new workflow variable - hr



Map participant to workflow variable

• Select the workflow variable to be used under “Map to Workflow Variable” in participant mapping and choose the appropriate mapping type.



Mapping form field to workflow variable

• Any *input element can be used to assign value to the Workflow Variable.• Insert a text field element into the form and tie to the workflow variable created

earlier.* Input elements that allow mapping to Workflow Variable are:-

– Checkbox– Date Picker– Hidden Field– ID Generator Field– Radio– Select Box– Textarea– Text Field– Calculation Field– Multi Select Box– Popup Select Box– Time Picker



Mapping form field to workflow variable

• Insert a text field element into the form and tie to it.



Exercise: Verify participant mapping

• Run the process to test whether the participant mapping works as designed.

• The new participant should be assigned to the username as specified in the form.



Creating form element to populate user list using Bean Shell Form Binder

• Create a Select Box element




• Configure the ID and Label to be the same as the previous one.

• Choose Bean Shell Form Binder as the Options Binder.




• Go to the next tab to configure the Bean Shell Form Binder.

• Populate Script with code in the next slide.



Populate select box using Bean Shell Form Binderimport java.util.Collection;import org.joget.apps.app.service.AppUtil;import org.joget.apps.form.model.FormRow;import org.joget.apps.form.model.FormRowSet;import org.joget.directory.model.service.ExtDirectoryManager;import org.joget.directory.model.User;import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;

ApplicationContext ac = AppUtil.getApplicationContext();ExtDirectoryManager directoryManager = (ExtDirectoryManager) ac.getBean("directoryManager");

FormRowSet results = new FormRowSet();results.setMultiRow(true);

Collection userList = directoryManager.getUserList();

for (User u : userList) {FormRow r = new FormRow();r.setProperty("value", u.getUsername());r.setProperty("label", u.getFirstName() + " " + u.getLastName() + " (" + u.getUsername() + ")");results.add(r);

}return results;



Advanced Participant Mapping using Bean Shell Form Binder

• Go to the last tab and map the Workflow Variable.



Exercise: Verify participant mapping

• Run the process again to test whether the participant mapping works as designed.

• The new participant should be assigned to the username as specified in the form.



Materials

• The Bean Shell code used in this chapter can be obtained from 19.2.1.txt



Chapter Review

1. Able to assign Participant by using Workflow Variable’s value.



Module Review

value.
