Binding Processing

Binding Processing

Binding describes the technical connection between a workflow definition and an existing subject module. It is stored as JSON and over modul|bind_key referenced.

Start with the generator

  1. Enter the module name.
  2. Select a DD of the module.
  3. Create the basic framework and then test the JSON.
  4. Save unique bind key, understandable title and active status.

Important areas

record → Fach-DD and Need with the dataset ID needs[] → Selection, field options, pre-occupation and context per step finish[]→ allowed change of subject and optional follow-up action
Simplified example: 
{
  "record": {"dd": "dbxContact|contactRequest", "id_need": "contact_request"},
  "needs": {
    "contact_request": {"type": "dd_select", "label": "{subject}"},
    "status": {"type": "dd_field_options", "field": "status"}
  },
  "finish": {
    "type": "dd_update",
    "map": {"status": "status"}
  }
}

Check before activation

  • Do DD, field names and templates exist?
  • Shows id_need One step of the workflow definition?
  • Are selection filters tight enough and data set rights considered?
  • Modified finish Only the designated fields?
  • Is mail or an external action only executed after a successful change?
