Access data (default service)

By default, workflows automatically consider this service as complete. That is, the 'Accept' button is always available.
This is the default service used if no service is specified.

Input parameters

Parameter Label Description
branch Dataspace The identifier of the specified dataspace - A dataspace is required for this service.
disableAutoComplete Disable Accept at start By default, the interaction associated with this service is directly considered as complete. Therefore, the Accept button is automatically displayed at the opening of the work item. This parameter is useful to disable this behavior. If the value is 'true', the developer will be in charge of completing the interaction by using SessionInteraction in a user service or a trigger, for example. The default value is 'false'. Perspectives do not use this parameter.
firstCallDisplay First call display mode Defines the display mode that must be used when displaying a filtered table or a record upon first call. Default (value = 'auto'): the display is automatically set according to the selection. View (value = 'view'): forces the display of the tabular view or of the hierarchical view. Record (value = 'record'): if the predicate has at least one record, forces the display of the record form.
instance Dataset The value must be the reference of a dataset that exists in the selected dataspace.
scope Scope Defines the scope of the user navigation for this service, namely, the entities that the user is able to select during their session. If left blank, the default value will be used. For perspectives, the default value is always 'node'. For workflows, the default value depends on the selected entities or service.
trackingInfo Tracking information Tracking information is logged into 'history' logs. It may also be used for any other purpose like access control or additional export information.
version Snapshot The identifier of the specified snapshot - A dataspace is required for this service.
viewPublication View The publication name of the view to display. The view must be configured for the selected table.
xpath Dataset node (XPath) The value must be a valid absolute location path in the selected dataset. The notation must conform to a simplified XPath, in its abbreviated syntax.
