Data Store References
The Data Store Reference or "Data Can" is used for both retrieving items from a Rapid Database. When a Start Event in a process diagram is triggered, any Data Store References on the canvas will obtain the item(s) they are configured to find. Below are the two methods of configuring Data Store References.
Element Type | Symbol | Function |
---|---|---|
Get Item | Fetches a single item from a Rapid Table using an item id. | |
Get Items | Fetches multiple items from a Rapid Table using: a selected table view, a lodash array expression for selection and a lodash expression for filtering. |
Data Associations
These are used to associate data elements with Activities, Processes, and Tasks. To create a Data Association, create a connection between an element and a Data Store Reference.
Doing this will allow you to update the data that was retrieved
When you click on a Data Association, it enables you to set up the specific data that the Data Association will modify, as well as the new values that will be assigned to this data.
Tokens will not travel down a Data Association. The diagram should use Sequence Flows or Default Flows to control the direction of tokens.
