Calling argument from another workflow

Question

Dears,

I have an issue that, I want to recall the argument. I already define it in a workflow. But I need to use it in another workflow in the same package.

Is there any idea how to get the text from workflow to another workflow? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You should consider your workflows as functions using Arguments as inputs and outputs. These Arguments need to be visible to the respected Workflow in order to be accepted.

Let me give you a simple example of 2 workflows passing one Argument form the first to the second:

1. We have a sequence of 2 Workflows as follow:

2. In Sequence we have one variable (desiredText) that will store the value of output variable from WorkFlow_1 and assign it to the input variable of WorkFlow_2:

3. In Sequence and in Import Arguments of WorkFlow_1 we set the value of the output Argument (out_desiredText) to the local variable in Sequence we mentioned in step 2 (desiredText)

4. Respectively in Import Arguments of WorkFlow_2 we set the values for the input Argument (in_desiredText) from the local variable (desiredText)

5. WorkFlow_1 looks like (desiredText holds the value to be passed):

6. WorkFlow_2 looks like (desiredText receives the value passed):

Hope this will clarify on how in/out Arguments are working.
