Input Parameter in Workflow Business Process

Workflow Version 10 Business Processes How To
Updated July 28, 2021
asked on July 27, 2021

Hi,

I have created a Workflow Business Process.    I want the workflow to only update documents within a folder it is being run on, not the entire Repository.

I setup an Input Parameter named FilePath.  In the Search Query of the Workflow, how do I setup input parameter FilePath so that it prompts for the Folder Path when the Business Process starts?

Thanks,

Teng

Laserfiche business processes cannot prompt the user for information. They can start on the selected entry and then you can use the "entry path" token in your search.

Hi Miruna:

I presume I retrieve the "entry path" token using the "Assign Token Values".    In my Search Query area, how do I compare the users' selected entry to the "entry path" token?

Thanks, Teng

No, entry path is under Global tokens and it is the entry path for the entry the user had selected when they started the business process.

If you would like to limit starting the business process to specific folders, then you should look into adding those folders as a requirement to the starting rules.

In the Search Query of the workflow, I have this:

{[StudentRecords_2]:[StudentID]<>""} & {[StudentRecords_2]:[Document Type]<>""} & {%(Entry Path)="\MetadataUpdate-BusinessProcess"} 

When I ran the Business Process, it terminated.

I also tried the Test Search Query inside the Workflow, it prompted me for the Entry path.  I entered \MetadataUpdate-BusinessProcess and I got an error:  An unrecognized character was encountered. [9085]

What did I do incorrectly?

Thanks,

Teng

I changed the Search Query to

 

{[StudentRecords_2]:[StudentID]<>""} & {[StudentRecords_2]:[Document Type]<>""} & {LF:Lookin="\Metadata Update - Business Process"}

 

and my Business Process Workflow is working now.
