Hello Everyone,

Please I need help on this one.
I am trying to create a form that after it is approved the form data is passed to a workflow that create a word document. I have done this before in On Prem Version but how to set it up in the cloud is a bit confusing.

Please can anyone please help provide a stepwise guide on

1. How to set up the variables in the forms business process and workflow

2. Is the input and output parameters supposed to be the form field variables?

3. In configuring the word template, do i still need to add the number in the front and back of the variable? For example: 2project_finance2

4. Is the output parameter to be set as well or is it just the input?

Please help. and thank you in advance.

regards

Business processes can pass data to workflows through input parameters. If you don't expect to send data back from a workflow to a business process, then your workflow does not need output parameters.

I don't know what you mean about adding numbers to the beginning and end of variable names.

Thank you Miruna. When setting up the Word Template for the variables that will be updated, you add numbers in front of the variables. I have done this before in LF On Prem.

Step 1: Create your form to collect the information you want to be in your Word document.

Step 2: I typically configure the shell of the process diagram. Just add the workflow service task to the process diagram, this will be where you will be using the Update Word workflow activity:
