Task list: Get and send link or export list to CSV

Components: Workflow Manager, Web Client

Like with lists and result lists, you can get the link for a task list, send the link and export the task list as CSV file.

Application

  • As a workflow controller, you may want to know how many tasks each member of your team is currently working on.

Benefit

  • Better overview

Here's how

Client_Get task list link_EN

In Web Client, go to Tasks > My tasks or Monitor tasks and select from the additional options for workflow lists.

OpenAPI specification for REST web requests

Component: Workflow Designer

OpenAPI is a standard way to describe a REST API interface. This description contains all available endpoints and information about how to use the endpoints accordingly. API specifications are usually written in YAML or JSON, which makes the specification easy to share and use.
If you want to address an external REST web service in the workflow and there is a description or specification file for it, you can now import and use it in the workflow. Thus you can simply select the defined endpoints for the external REST webservice.

Benefit

  • Easy and fast endpoint definition

  • Reducing input errors

Here's how

When configuring the endpoint on the General tab, you can import an OpenAPI specification.

Using regular expressions

Component: Workflow Designer

You can now use several regular expression functions in arithmetic expressions. These are especially helpful for manipulating strings by certain patterns. For application examples and benefits, see Advanced matching of table data. For the arithmetic expressions, see the Workflow Expression Parser documentation.

LINQ methods eliminate the need for external validation

Component: Workflow Designer

You can also use LINQ methods now to check whether a certain value occurs in an index table column.

Application

  • An invoice match may only be considered complete when all values are displayed as okay in the status column and there are no discrepancies, for example, in quantity or amount.

Benefits

  • Set up validation more conveniently and quickly

  • No external validation service needed anymore
