Example:

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

  • Create a new definition called “getUserFullNameDef”
  • Select the definition and click the “design” button
  • Drag a “getUsersFullNames” from the toolbox and connect the steps as above
  • Click the “getUsersFullNames” step to configure its “Settings” properties. Provide the step name. Provide the workflow user's GUID. Provide the variable/global to hold the user's full name after execution.

 

  • The User's GUID value is fetched from the Administration - User Management page. 

 

  • 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. 

 

  • Save the process definition, create a new process instance, and execute. Render the process instance. Click on the process step. The process step should get the workflow user's full name.
