Generate Key Method
This method returns a string that you can use to uniquely identify a record in the service's business component. In the case of Workflow Processes, this refers to the primary business component of the processes' business object. Generate Key has only one input:
- Key Description - String. This is used to describe the form of the string to be generated.
This input is in the form [A].[B].[C]... where A, B, C... are names of fields that should correspond to a unique key in your database.
For instance, when using Contact, [Last Name].[First Name] would generate an insufficient value. However, [Id].[Last Name] would work because [Id] itself is guaranteed unique in this system.
Generate Key has only one output:
- Source Key - String. This is used to identify the record in the service's business component.
Example: Transfer Cart Inbound Create Cart Process, Create New Quote Key
