The Settings Type

Workflows should be written with portability in mind. Do not hard-code values that can be set in a global ‘Settings’ value.

1. Create a Type called Settings.
2. Rename the Title field to Key
3. Add a string field called Data1
4. (optional) Add additional string field called Data2

Add data to your Settings:

Add these two activities to your workflow to retrieve the Settings from the database into workflow variables of the same name:

• Object Instance List

• JavaScript

    function getSettingsAsVariables(settingsData) {
        for (let item of settingsData) {
            let variableName = item.Key;
            let value = item.Data1;
              
            setVariable(variableName, value);
        }
    }
  
    const settingsData = activities.GetSettings.Output();
    getSettingsAsVariables(settingsData);
