Activity Lookup attributes allow a Workflow to contain a reference to an Activity Definition. A common use case for this data type is to assign Instructors to Courses (in scenarios where they cannot be more simply modeled as a Custom List). |
Overview
During configuration, a specific Activity Type is selected.
In input mode on a Workflow, the lookup allows the user to choose from a list of published Activities matching that type. (Optionally, the list can be filtered by a custom SQL procedure as well)
Use Case: "Course Instructors"
One use case of a Lookup attribute is to model the Instructors assigned to specific Courses. In this model, an Activity Definition would be created for each Instructor, and a Lookup attribute would be used to link each Course to an Instructor.
If custom business rules restrict which Courses a given Instructors is allowed to teach, those rules can be implemented by filtering the Lookup attribute with a custom SQL procedure.Configuration
This attribute collects:
- The Activity Type to restrict the lookup options by
- An optional SQL procedure to provide additional filtering against custom rules
Display Modes
In input mode, displays a multi-select list containing the available Activities.
In display mode, displays a list of the selected Activity Titles plus a link to launch the Workflow Overview for each.
Data Storage
This attribute stores a comma delimited list of Activity Ids and uses an /wiki/spaces/DOCS/pages/538411176 to fetch information about the referenced Activity(s).
