Configuring the Order of Execution

After actions are added to the Order of Execution grid, you can reorder them by dragging and dropping the rows. You can also delete actions using the Delete (X) button.

You can enter or modify values in the Input and Default Value columns in the Order of Execution area. Use the following features to configure the order in which the actions have to be executed.

• Input

  This is an editable column for identifying the inputs to the form request. For each field to which you want to map an orchestration input, enter a variable name in the Input column. When you add this form request to an orchestration, you map the orchestration input to this variable.

  Instead of a mapped variable, you can enter a literal value in the Default Value column. You can also combine input values into a text string for an input into an EnterpriseOne field. For example, you can create a text string such as "Temp was ${0} at ${1}" that contains input values for temperature and time.

  You can also use this column to populate multiple rows in multiple grids. See Populating Multiple Grids with Repeating Inputs (Optional) for more information.

• Default Value

  For an editable field to which you want to map an input, use this column to enter a default value. You can also add a default value to use if the mapped value returns a null.

  For a check box or a radio button, you can enable (slide the button to right) it to include it. If there are multiple radio buttons grouped together on a form, select only one. If you select more than one, only the last radio button in the Order of Execution list will be used. For a check box and radio button, you can set an input variable in addition to the default value.

  For a combo box control (a list of items in a drop-down menu), the Orchestrator Studio displays a drop-down menu in the Default Value column in which you can select the appropriate item from the menu.

  Starting with Tools Release 9.2.6.3, you can select <Space> from the Default Array drop-down menu to clear out the fields in the form request.

• Edit Returns (left arrow icon in the Action column)

  Use this feature to view and edit all the return values. You can also use this feature to retrieve data from "hidden" fields or grid columns that are not displayed in the Available Actions area. Hidden fields appear only after a particular action in a form. In the EnterpriseOne web client, use the field-level help (Item Help or F1 key) to identify the control IDs for the hidden fields and the grid columns. The control ID (AIS Id) is displayed in the Advanced Options section in the help pop-up window.

  To edit the existing return values and retrieve a hidden field:

  1. In the Order of Execution area, in the Return Form Data row, click the left arrow in the Action column.

     A dialog box appears displaying the control IDs, description, and associated variable names of any return field that is already selected in the Available Actions area. You can add a variable name in the Value column for an existing retuned value and also remove a retuned value.

  2. Enter the control ID of the hidden field in the ID field. Optionally, you can enter a variable name to represent the return value in the associated Variable field.

     For multiple controls, use the Add button to add more controls, making sure that the order of the values matches in each field.

     You must enter a variable name for the return value if you want the return value to appear in the orchestration inputs list in the orchestration.

  3. Click OK.
