Show in the Repository

Exclusion Group

This field is case insensitive.

If this field is populated, only one Actionflow with this Exclusion Group can be running at any one time. Attempting to run a second Actionflow with the same exclusion group will return a warning and the Actionflow will not run. This applies whether the Actionflow is run manually or automatically using a schedule.

Exclusion Group are evaluated before any Actionflows are started. 

If there is no Actionflow already running with this exclusion group then the Actionflow will continue. The action will be considered to be using this exclusion group from this point until the Actionflow has completed.

Validate before runningWhere validation has been set on form fields, switching this on performs the validation check before the Actionflow runs. If the validation fails, the Actionflow does not run and informs the user of the error(s).

See 

Adding

Validation.

Allow to Run with Validation Errors

Where validation fails, the user is informed of the error(s) and is given the option to still run the Actionflow.

API Mode

(Available in PhixFlow version 11+)

Choose if the Actionflow should:

  • Wait for result (Synchronous) (Default): The API waits for the results or the timeout to occur. Note: If the timeout occurs the command is aborted.
  • Poll for result (Asynchronous): The API is called and a response is returned immediately including the process ID. Subsequent API calls can be made using the process ID to fetch the status of the action. The asynchronous mode can be thought of as “fire and forget”.

URL

(Available in PhixFlow version 11+)

Displays the URL for the API that is used to call it. This field is read only.Understanding Actionflows
