If you want to add a check on the "Manager_Reviews CustomEvent" branch that will cancel the event if the profile field Vendor ID is blank, write the script on PreEvent of CustomEventActivity with Event Manager_Reviews and CFO_Reviews.
if (profile.CUSTOMEVENT_NAME=='Manager_Reviews' && profile.VendorID=='')
{
ScriptResult.CancelScript=true;
}
Note: |
This feature is applicable on the PaperSave Workflow, Workflow Entry Viewer, Workflow AutoEntry, Workflow Item Reviewer, PaperSave Web Workflow and Mobile Application. |
2. Assigning Workflow Parameter Values to Profile Fields.
String Workflow Parameter:
if(Parameters["PaperSave_Invoice_to_DataEntry_StringWorkFlowParameter"] == 'StringParameterValue')
{
profile.ptd_string_textbox = 'Parameter Field String Value Matched';
}
else
{
profile.ptd_string_textbox = 'Parameter Field String Value Not Matched';
}
3. Number Workflow Parameter:
if(Parameters["PaperSave_Invoice_to_DataEntry_NumberWorkFlowParameter"] != 0)
{
profile.ptd_number_textbox = 15;
}
if(Parameters["PaperSave_Invoice_to_DataEntry_DateWorkFlowParameter"] != '01/01/2011')
{
profile.ptd_date_datebox = '12/12/2012';
}
In the above code "PaperSave_Invoice_to_DataEntry_DateWorkFlowParameter" is the name of the workflow and "ptd_date_datebox" is the profile field.
