Configuring Functions
Updated in 8.4
Functions are workflow components that can be invoked by Actions, Triggers, and even other Functions to perform various simple workflow operations, unconditionally or conditionally (see Adding workflow operations). A Function can also use parameters which are static or dynamic values you supply to the Function. Functions can utilize those values in their operations.
You configure Functions for a particular object class in the Workflow and Business Logic > [Module] > [Object Class] > Workflow > Components > Functions section.
To configure a Function:
-
In the list of Functions for the object class, click New. The Function [FunctionName] window opens.
-
On the Parameters tab, you can supply parameters to the Function.
- Click OK.
To view workflow components that invokes the Function:
-
In the list of Functions for the object class, double-click the Function to bring up the [Object Class] Function window.
-
Go to the Callers tab and see all the workflow items and components that invokes the Function. To open the details of a component, double-click it.
NOTE: You cannot assign a Function to a workflow item or component from here. You choose the Function when configuring the programming aspect of the item or component.
