Interview Selection Module

With the Interview Selection module, a selection list can be shown in the device display from which the user must select an entry. The value of the selected entry is stored in a freely definable variable that can be used in the further course of the workflow (e.g. in the The Decision Module).

If you want to read the selection options from an external source, use the The Interview Selection ODBC Module module.

The module can occur several times in the workflow.

Interview modules can be called at any point in the workflow since version 4.13.

Start module

Interview Selection Module

The Decision Module

The module can be connected to all modules (this can result in nonsensical workflows).

No restrictive modules.

Successful: In this case, the module follows that is to be executed after successful input or selection.

Cancel: In this case, the module follows that is to be executed if the user has actively terminated the interview by pressing the Cancel button.

Time-out: In this case, the module follows that is to be executed if the input has not been completed after the time-out period specified in the module settings.

Enter the text to be displayed above the selection list (for example, Select a document type.)

Specify the variable name in which the variable value of the selection list entry that the user selected on the device is to be stored. For example, if you enter DocType, you can then use the variable with %DocType% in the rest of the workflow.

The name of the variable must not contain special characters. Allowed are small and capital letters (no umlauts or similar), numbers and the dot ".".
If the variable name is used in several places, all places can influence the variable value.

Here you can set a period of time in minutes after which the module will continue with the Time-out output if the user does not make an entry in the interview. The time runs independently of keystrokes, it is considered completed when the Continue button on the device is pressed (i.e. the user must have fully completed the input in this time).

The value 0 stands for no time-out (the time for input on the device is unlimited).

To add an entry to the list, click Add Selection.

Label: Text that the user sees in the selection list

Variable value: Value that is written to the variable specified under Variable.

The WorkflowService knows all information about a workflow (created in the Workflow Editor). It ensures that the process is adhered to and forwards information to the subsequent modules or their services in the workflow. Its log file is Logs\WorkflowService.log.
