Wskip

You can use this function for Optiva Workflows.

Purpose

Skips a step in a workflow.

Syntax


Dim variable As Integer = Wskip(Action)

Arguments

Part Description
Action The name of the action that is skipped.

Description

Wskip skips an action in a workflow. Use it in a conditional statement. For example, a packaging formula in a workflow for approval requires the user to pick a new package. The contents are too dense for the customary packaging. The workflow is written so that if the contents are below a specified density, the action is skipped.

If an action contains Wskip, the Next Line field on the Action Set form must list more than one next line. For example, action 2 contains Wskip for action 3. Action 4 depends on the completion of action 3, but if action 3 is skipped, action 4 still must occur. Both action 3 and 4 must be listed in Next Line for action 2.

Examples

In this example, the if statement checks the status of items for a formula. If all of the items are not on the blacklist, the TECH_DIR action is skipped. If any of the items are on the blacklist, giving the blacklist parameter a positive (1) value, then the TECH_DIR action is not skipped.


Dim oBlklist As Object = ObjProperty("VALUE.TP0","", "","BLACKLIST", 2)

if (oBlklist = 0) then

Dim iSkip As Integer = Wskip("TECH_DIR")

end if
