How to store SmartForms input in a workflow?

Hello,

 

Suppose we have a simple approval workflow:

 

  • A user creates an item
  • The input gets approved
  • The item is added to a database

How do we show the input from the first step in the approval form in the second step WITHOUT creating/saving the item to the database. I tried with an item reference but it seems this requires the item to get stored, which is unfortunate :)

 

I suppose you could pass the input as URL parameters, but this feels clunky (especially with a high number of inputs).

 

Thanks!

Is it recommended that the data is persisted (for example in a database) so that it can be readily accessible.

 

You can store data in the workflow as data fields although this is not recommended as best practice since you should keep your process and line of business information separate.
