Retrieve Items task now has a JSON Output option
The Retrieve Items task can now output the results of its query as a JSON string instead of
storing them within the metadata. This allows easy handling of the results either through
Workflow Scripting or directly in the Designer.
The Retrieve Items task is often used in circular Workflows where data that has already been
extracted, output and presented to the user is sent back by the user for further processing.
Think, for instance, of a Proof-Of-Delivery Workflow where the delivery person makes the
recipient sign a Capture OnTheGo document and dynamically makes adjustments to the
quantities that were actually shipped out. Both the signature and the modified values are sent
back to a Workflow process whose purpose is to generate a PDF version of the document with
those modified values.
With the new option to retrieve existing items in JSON format (including the detail tables), you
can now retrieve the original record as a JSON object and use a simple script to update all the
detail line values using those posted by the end-user. You can then provide that JSON object
directly to the Create PDF Preview task without having to perform the data mapping operation
once again, thus saving some valuable resources (both in terms of time and database space).
