Process flow actions

Introduction to process flow actions

The following paragraphs list the available process actions with their input and output parameters.

• The input parameters of a process action can be assigned using a constant value or a variable.
• The value of output parameters can be stored in process flow variables.
• The string value of any enumerations, that can be used to set the parameter using a string variable, is displayed in code.
• Variables can have any datatype, as long as the relevant data of the input or output parameter can be converted to the datatype.

In each process action described below, it is indicated whether it is a system flow action and whether it is a valid starting point for a process flow in the Windows GUI/Web GUI. For the Indicium API, every process action can be a starting point. So, each process action can be used as a starting point from a third-party application.

Activate document

Starting point Universal GUI	Starting point Win/Web GUI	Starting point system flow (Indicium)	System flow action
+	+	+	-

An open document can be activated with this process action. Since tab_id and tab_variant_id are not sufficient to identify a document, this process action works on the basis of a document ID that is returned by the Open document and Zoom detail process actions.

Input parameters
Document	The ID of the document that must be activated. Valid IDs of documents are only returned by the process actions Open document and Zoom detail. It is only possible to activate documents that are open within the same process flow.

Output parameters
Status code	The status code of the executed action. 0 - Successful -1 - Unsuccessful (unknown) -2 - Unsuccessful (document not found)
[COL]	The value of a column of the active row. This parameter is present for every column of the subject.

This process action requires no specific rights, because only documents can be activated that are opened by means of Open document or Zoom detail.

Open document

Starting point Universal GUI	Starting point Win/Web GUI	Starting point system flow (Indicium)	System flow action
+	+	+	-

This process action returns a unique ID of the opened document as output parameter. This ensures that the new process actions for activating a document and closing a document can be correctly implemented. As soon as several documents of the same subject are open, it must be possible to activate or close a specific open document.

Input parameters
Try use an existing document	No (default) - The process flow will open a new document. Yes - The process flow will attempt to use an existing document. Documents in edit mode will not be used. Universal GUI Warning: when the open documents are not displayed above the menu (see checkbox Show open documents), they will remain open forever if the system does not close them.
Open as	- Document - a docked document - Floating window - the document opens in a new window ('floating') - Modal document - interaction with the underlying application is not possible until the user closes the document.

Opening a new document can be used as a trigger for a new process flow. However, activating an existing document via the menu or otherwise will not trigger a new process flow.

Opening a new document can be modified by the process flow to try and use an existing document instead if the process action is configured to do this. Likewise, opening a non-floating document can be modified by the process flow to open as floating instead and vice-versa.

Output parameters
Status code	The status code of the executed action. 0 - Successful -1 - Unsuccessful (unknown)
Document	The GUID of the document that is opened or NULL if not successful. Varchar is the only allowed datatype.
[COL]	The value of a column of the active row. This parameter is present for every column of the subject.

Close document

Starting point Universal GUI	Starting point Win/Web GUI	Starting point system flow (Indicium)	System flow action
+	-	+	-

An open document can be closed with this process action. Since tab_id and tab_variant_id are not sufficient to identify a document, this process action works on the basis of a document ID that is returned by the Document open and Zoom detail process actions.

Input parameters

Document

Optional. The ID of the document that has to be closed. The value of this parameter will be used to determine which document must be closed. Valid IDs of documents are only returned by the process actions Open document and Zoom detail. If empty, the active document will be closed, which is the same as the current behavior of this process action. This process action can only be used to close the initial document and documents that are opened within the same process flow.

Output parameters
Status code	The status code of the executed action. -0 - Successful -1 - Unsuccessful (unknown) -2 - Unsuccessful (document not found)
Document	The ID of the document that is active after closing the previous document. Only filled if the active document is opened with the Open document or Zoom detail process actions.

Close all documents

-	-	-	-

With this process action, the GUI can be controlled to select a specific row of a specific subject on the basis of parameters that correspond with the columns of the subject in question. It is not necessary to link variables to all PK columns of the subject. If several rows correspond with the specified column value, then the first found row will be selected. However, if no variables are linked to all PK columns of the subject, then a warning will be given when validating.

In addition, it is possible to control the way in which the row has to be searched for. In general, this will make no sense, but if it is known where the row is located, then this can make a difference in performance for large data sets. This process action will return the value of the active row as an output parameter.

Input parameters
[COL]	The value of a column of the subject in question. This parameter is present for every column of the subject.
Filter record when not found	Optional. Indicates whether an attempt must be made to filter on the row if the row cannot be found. No (default) row_try_filter_row_off Yes row_try_filter_row_on

Add row

Starting point Universal GUI	Starting point Win/Web GUI	Starting point system flow (Indicium)	System flow action
+ (after Save/Cancel)	+	+	-

info

The Add row process action will only trigger a process flow when adding or modifying records in a Form component with 'auto-save' disabled. Components that automatically save changes on navigation or other user actions, such as the Grid, do not support this process action trigger, because the user action will often conflict with subsequent steps of the process flow.

This process action receives input parameters to assign values to the columns of the subject (comparable with a default procedure). These input values have no effect if this process action is used as a start action. Since the value of a column can be set in different ways, it is important to apply clear priorities. The value needs to be applied in the following sequence:

1. Default value Link with context Input parameters of the process action Default procedure.

2. Finally, this process action receives an output parameter with a status code.

Input parameters
[COL]	Optional. The value of a column of the subject in question. If this process action is not a start action, then this value will be entered in the column in question. This parameter is present for every column of the subject.

Output parameters
Status code	The status code of the executed action. 0 - Successful -1 - Unsuccessful (unknown) -2 - Unsuccessful (adding not permitted) -3 - Unsuccessful (cancelled by user)
[COL]	The value of a column of the added row. This parameter is present for every column of the subject.

Edit row

Starting point Universal GUI	Starting point Win/Web GUI	Starting point system flow (Indicium)	System flow action
+ (after Save/Cancel)	+	+	-

info

The Edit row process action will only trigger a process flow when adding or modifying records in a Form component with 'auto-save' disabled. Components that automatically save changes on navigation or other user actions, such as the Grid, do not support this process action trigger, because the user action will often conflict with subsequent steps of the process flow.

This process action will also work in combination with modifications in the list. If this process action is not a start action, then the GUI will give preference to a form to deal with the action. If there is no form present, then the GUI will try to find a grid. If a record in the grid is modified, is successfully stored and there is a follow-up action that can be called, then a possible row switch action that handles the save of the data will be prevented.

This process action receives input parameters to assign values to the columns of the subject (comparable with a default procedure). These input values have no effect if this process action is used as a start action. Since the value of a column can be set in different ways, it is important to apply clear priorities. The value needs to be applied in the following sequence:

Default value Link with context Input parameters of the process action Default procedure.

Finally, this process action receives an output parameter with a status code.

Input parameters
[COL]	Optional. The value of a column of the subject in question. If this process action is not a start action, then this value will be entered in the column in question. This parameter is present for every column of the subject.

Output parameters

Starting point Universal GUI	Starting point Win/Web GUI	Starting point system flow (Indicium)	System flow action
+	+	+	-

These process actions receive input parameters to be able to control the input parameters of the task (comparable with a default procedure). These input values have no effect if this process action is used as a start action. Since the value of a task parameter can be set in different ways, it is important to apply clear priorities. The value needs to be applied in the following sequence:

Default value Link with column Link with process flow Variable Default procedure.

Finally, these process actions receive an output parameter with a status code.

Input parameters
[PARAM]	Optional. The value of a parameter of the task. If this process action is not a start action, then the value of this parameter will be filled with the associated task parameter. This parameter is present for each input parameter of the task.

Starting point Universal GUI	Starting point Win/Web GUI	Starting point system flow (Indicium)	System flow action
-	-	+	+

A Decision is not a regular process action. Its purpose is to guide a process flow. Every process action can change process variables or the direction of a process flow by using process logic. With a decision node, you create a clearly identifiable and reusable node in the process where the decision logic resides.

A decision node does not perform an actual action. Because of this, the tabs Input and Output are not available. However, all process variables are available as parameters. You can use them to influence the behavior of the follow-up process actions.

tip

• A decision node can be used as the first action in a scheduled process flow to load the initial values required for autonomous execution.
• Decision nodes always have a process procedure and can only have Always-typed follow-up steps.

Encrypt

-	-	+	+

This process action encrypts sensitive data. This enables you to store data encrypted in the database.

The Thinkwise platform has several options to setup the storage of the encryption keys.
See:

• Encryption in Azure
• Encryption in AWS
• Encryption on-premise

Input parameters
Data to encrypt	This is a variable or constant value (string or binary).

Output parameters
Status code	0 - Successful -1 - Unsuccessful (Unknown) -2 - Data protection was not configured. See: Encryption in Indicium. -3 - The input parameter 'Data to encrypt' was not provided with a value.
Encrypted data	The encrypted data (binary). This must be stored in a varbinary field.

Decrypt

-	-	+	+

This process action decrypts the previously encrypted data.

Input parameters
Data to decrypt	This is a variable or constant value (string or binary).

Output parameters
Status code	0 - Successful -1 - Unsuccessful (Unknown) -2 - Data protection was not configured. See: Encryption in Indicium. -3 - The input parameter 'Data to encrypt' was not provided with a value. -4 - The encryption key could not be found in the key store.
Decrypted data	The decrypted data (string or binary).

Hash and Check password

Starting point Win/Web GUI	Starting point Indicium	System flow action
-	+	+

Hash and Check password are two process actions that can be used to safely store a password for the sole purpose of password verification.

Process Actions Hash and Check password

Hash password takes a plain-text password as input and returns a salt, hash, and the used algorithm. The used algorithm is always the latest supported algorithm by the runtime components, to ensure it is up-to-date with cryptographic standards for safe password storage. Hashed passwords can only be used for password verification via the Check password process action and cannot be restored to their original plain-text form. For instance, a hashed password cannot be used as a credential for an external service.

note

Be very cautious when dealing with passwords. There are barely any scenarios where these process actions are actually required when developing an enterprise application.

Input parameters
Password	Plain-text

Output parameters
Password hash	This is a binary value e.g. 0xADB4C4927096C4861FCA7327C96111162F5F99CB0ADD5067
Password salt	This is base64, textual value. A different salt is created every time this process action is used e.g. AMROyZvqJPRxKj7VycDh9V4Bd/ie/iBX
Algorithm	This is a textual value, recognizable by the runtime component e.g. PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1:10000
Status code	- 0 when successful - 1 when no password was provided

Check password takes a plain-text password as input and a hash, salt, and algorithm used to check this password against. The latter 3 will practically always be the result of a hash-password process action at a different point in time, loaded from storage. When provided password matches, the process action will be successful.

Input parameters
Password	Plain-text
Password hash	This is a binary value e.g. 0xADB4C4927096C4861FCA7327C96111162F5F99CB0ADD5067
Password salt	This is base64, textual value. A different salt is created every time this process action is used e.g. AMROyZvqJPRxKj7VycDh9V4Bd/ie/iBX
Algorithm	This is a textual value, recognizable by the runtime component e.g. PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1:10000

Output parameters
Status code	-0 when successful -1 when an unknown error occurred -2 when the password didn't match -3 when no password was provided -4 when no hash was provided -5 when no salt was provided -6 when no algorithm was provided -7 when the algorithm was not recognized
