Script Examples
This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.
The following examples are available for use in your workflow scripting:
Many of the functions in these examples refer to and rely on each other. When using the example script, be sure to verify that all parameters and dependent functions exist in the workflow script. For example, before you can send e-mail to a user's manager, you must find the manager's e-mail address.
In each example, the "Calling the Function" section provides the script required to call the function. Place this code in the Shared Script tab for a validation or action script procedure for a particular action. Action procedures are only executed if the associated validation script procedure returns True. For example, the following function call should be added to the action code:
Sub State1_OnUpdate()
Function_Name_Here
End Sub
The "Example Script" section provides the code for the function that should be placed at the beginning or end of the text in the Shared Script tab, which is located in the Workflow Process pane of a particular workflow process. For example, the following script should be added to the beginning or end of the text in the Shared Script tab:
Function Function_Name_Here
Dim Var1
Var1 = 123
If Var1 = 123 then
Function_Name_Here = False
Else
Function_Name_Here = True
End If
End Function
