Objects represent all occurrences of unique data types within data. Objects accept any data types mapped towards a dynamic population of data types along with their data.
An example of Objects would be Mixed Type Data Repeaters, which allow a user to group like controls in a data type. By accepting an Object as an input, the Mixed Type Data Repeater will dynamically populate with the controls, along with their supported data types, passed into it at run time.
Configuring Object Properties
Objects are parameterless, undefined variables at runtime and cannot be mapped similarly to other data types. As a result, Objects rely on specialized Object mapping steps and other data to be mapped correctly.
Once an Object has been defined, properties from an Object can be outputted through the use of additional steps. This data can be applied individually or by mapping a Data Pair to the Object.
CSV To Object Mapping Step
Users may utilize the CSV to Object Mapping step to implement external CSV data onto an Object. This step takes a CSV file, evaluates the designated CSV Delimiter, and outputs the data as a list of the selected Output Type.
Formatting Objects With Format Text Step
The Format Text step allows users to apply .NET String.Format methodology to an Object to convert it into a String to be formatted
Object Lock Services
Object Lock Services may restrict/enable access to specific Objects within the environment, such as with the Lock Object step. These steps determine how long an Object is locked and when to release that lock.
