Hi all,
I am looking into how we can improve the experience of repeating sections and processing the data in workflow. If you have used this scenario, can you please reply with the use case, the data collected, how you process the data and the output?
Appreciate any feedback you can provide.
Cheers,
Euan
Hi,
Several times I've had the need to store in a form several "sets" of data (e.g. product name, number of items, color..) so I've used a repeating section.
After data entry, the workflow may read the repeating section using the QueryXML action in order to extract some info and use them in the workflow (maybe with product name I can query a Price List and multiply the value for the number required in order to get the total cost)
After that I may update again (using UpdateXML) the form to store that value in it, so it's available also in the form.
Suggestions:
- Having the capability to automatically decode a repeating section when querying the form (the actual result of the query is an encoded xml and we have to do an additional action in order to decode it)
- Having the capability to query directly for fields inside a repeating section (and store values in a collection variable)
