Example:

Let’s build and execute the “setDictionaryValueDef” example.          

  • Create a new definition called “setDictionaryValueDef”
  • Select the definition and click the “design” button
  • Drag the “setDictionaryValue, and getDictionaryValue”  steps to the canvas
  • Connect the dots between the Start and the other steps as above
  • Define a variable/global to store the dictionary value and results after execution
  • Click the "setDictionaryValue" step to configure its "Settings" properties. Provide a name to the step. Provide a variable/global to store the dictionary value. Provide the key name and key value. 

 

  • The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

 

  • Click the "getDictionaryValue" step to configure its "Settings" properties. Provide a name to the step.
