Description

The VariableDecisionHandler allows the user to pre-define the process path after an XOR gateway based on process variables.

Info

The VariableDecisionHandler was previously called SmartformDecisionHandler FormDecisionHandler. However, it is still accessible via the class: com.dooris.bpm.actionhandler.SmartFormDecissionHandlerFormDecissionHandler.

Parameter of the XOR gateway

Parameter

Default value

Description

variableName

Status
titlemandatory

Status
titlen/a

Name of the process variable stored in the

smartform

form, based on whose value a process path is chosen.

Good to know

Alternatively, you could use the parameter name processVariable instead of variableName. Both parameter names work the same.

Avoid adding both parameter names at once for the same XOR gateway. If both are given, only the value of variableName will be considered, while the value of processVariable will be ignored.

defaultTransition

Status
titlen/a

This parameter defines which process path will be selected if the process variable is not defined or the content of the variables does not match any given transition of the gateway.

Parameter of the outgoing sequence flows

For each condition, there will be one Output parameter with a Name for the parameter and an ID:

Name

ID

Description

Yes

Insert here the value of the Output variable, if the condition will apply for yes.

No

Insert here the value of the Output variable, if the condition will apply for no.

Parameter

Default value

Description

condition expression

The condition expression can be set arbitrarily but should fit the decision. For example:

  • Decision: Proposal status?

  • Condition 1: Approved

  • Condition 2: Declined

(e.g. proposal status? Condition expression 1: Approved. Condition expression 2: Declined).

ID

The ID is the value of the process variable set in the

smartform

form (value=“ID”).

Example

We want to decide between the two different paths in the workflow based on a user selection from the smartformform.

In our example, we want to send two different emails depending on whether the approval was given or declined in the smartform form on the previous task.

...

Form

In this example, VariableDecisionHandler is added at the XOR node. Smartform Form is created for this workflow with a radio button which has a name decision as a variable name. Radio button setting is in the below screenshot. decision variable is used for VariableDecisionHandler which defines the routes after XOR gateway.
