Summary: This guide explains how to view and manage data sources in Sanplex workflows, including built-in sources and the Custom Options, Custom SQL, Custom Category, System Function, and System Language options.

Catalog

Workflow supports data sources, which provide values for fields that use Single-select Dropdown, Multi-select Dropdown, Radio, or Checkbox controls.

Shared data sources allow different departments or teams to use the same data, reducing data silos. By centralizing data in a unified source, you can ensure that all users access consistent values.

I. View Data Sources

Click Datasource in Workflow to open the data source list.

Datasource

Sanplex includes several built-in data sources that can be used directly, including system language items, system functions, and custom SQL examples.

Built-in data sources cannot be edited or deleted.

II. Manage Data Sources

Click Create Datasource to add a data source.

The available categories are Custom Options, Custom SQL, Custom Category, System Function, and System Language.

  • Custom Options: Define data as custom key-value pairs.

Create datasource

  • Custom SQL: Run a custom SQL query to retrieve key-value data from the database.

SQL as the datasource type

  • Custom Category: Organize data sources in a tree structure with unlimited nesting levels.

Custom catagory

Manage modules

Set catagory names

  • System Function: Call predefined system methods.

System function as the datasource

  • System Language: Select built-in system language options.

System language as the datasource

Click Edit to modify a data source. Changes are automatically applied to every workflow that references it.

Click Delete to delete a data source.

Edit or delete a datasource
