Elements of the Data Field type have the ability to read data from the connected RayFlow server via the RayFlow plug-in interface. Each property of a specific RayFlow workflow data object (e. g. package orders) may be requested and used within the data field item text.
Since communication with RayFlow is established via web service and always relates to a specific data object within the RayFlow database, there are some prerequisites that have to be given in order to use the RayFlow parameter option:
•Connection settings need to be given. These may either be defined globally via the RayQC settings view connections, or locally for projects that have been opened via the tool integration of RayFlow, and equipped with parameters containing the connection credentials.
•A RayFlow workflow data object identifier must be given. This unique ID may either have been injected directly from RayFlow as a parameter provided by the RayQC tool integration command, or may be derived from manually or automatically filled in content from another data field item.
•The attribute name of the RayFlow property must be known.

Note: The set of actually available values for retrieval from RayFlow depends on the individual object structure defined for the connected RayFlow instance. Please contact your RaySuite system administrator or refer to your RaySuite instance documentation for details regarding object definitions and the interface provided for external communication. |
