Subscription Data Form

The subscription data form allows you to retrieve a directory resource, when defined conditions are met, to advance a workflow task.

When you bind to a data item, an operator can perform an action based on the data item that was retrieved. The data item value is tied to mask and limits values. When the data item input parameter changes, the value is checked against the Format Mask input parameter and/or the High Limit and Low Limit input parameters. If the value(s) match(es), then the form is ready to be submitted.

Note: These parameters are configured when the form is selected for a Form activity.

Inputs

The following table describes parameters for this form:

Important: A value must be entered in the Data Item and Prompt fields.


Parameters	Data Type	Description
Auto Submit	Boolean	If True, there is no Submit button on the form when it is running. Therefore, when the input values match, the form submits automatically. If False, a Submit button appears on the form; it must be clicked to submit the form.
Data Item	N/A	Select a resource to use as a value to check against other input parameters.
Default Value	String	Initial value of the text field. This field can be used to introduce or clarify mask and limit information.
Format Mask	String	Enter a mask for the subscription data value. Tip: For more information on applying masks, see the Mask Properties in the MSDN Library.
High Limit	Double	If applicable, enter the exclusive upper limit for a numeric value. Use this field if the data being retrieved is numerical and must fall within a range to advance the form. Note: The value entered in the form must be up to the high limit value, not including the high limit value. For example, if the high limit is 100, the value cannot be higher than 99.
Limits Visible	Boolean	If True, the high and low limits display in the form when it is running.
Low Limit	Double	If applicable, enter the exclusive lower limit for a numeric value. Use this field if the data being retrieved is numerical and must fall within a range to advance the form. Note: The value entered in the form must be above the low limit value, not including the low limit value. For example, if the low limit is 1, the value must be higher than 1.
Prompt	String	Enter text to provide information to an operator to perform an action.
