This Specification Flow Task gets data from a set of Variables, and writes them to a Simple Table.
The task relies on Variables having a common prefix. This is the portion of the Variable name after the default DWVariable, but before any distinguishing suffix.
For example:
DWVariableType1
| Property Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Changes the Title (not the name) of the task. |
| Item Prefix String | A pipe bar (|) delimited string of Variable prefixes. |
| Table Name | The name of the DriveWorks Project Table that the Variables will be written to. |
When this Task is added the properties are static. To be able to build rules on a static property see How To: Change A Static Property To A Dynamic Property.
| Property Name | Example Rule | Example Result | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Item Prefix String | "Type|Material|Price" | Type|Material|Price | This is the pipebar (|) delimited list of all the prefixes for the Variables values to export to the Simple Table. |
| Table Name | "VariableExport" | VariableExport | This is the name of the Simple Table to export the Variable values to for the specified Variable prefixes. |
| Variable Name | Variable Value |
|---|---|
| DWVariableType1 | A |
| DWVariableType2 | B |
| DWVariableType3 | C |
| DWVariableMaterial1 | Plastic |
| DWVariableMaterial2 | Steel |
| DWVariableMaterial3 | Stainless Steel |
| DWVariablePrice1 | 12.32 |
| DWVariablePrice2 | 45.87 |
| DWVariablePrice3 | 78.54 |
The table would have the following written into it, including the headers.
| Index | Type | Material | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | Plastic | 12.32 |
| 2 | B | Steel | 45.87 |
| 3 | C | Stainless Steel | 78.54 |
