Built-in user services

EBX® includes a number of built-in user services. Built-in user services can be used:

 

This reference page describes the built-in user services and their parameters.

 

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

ParameterLabelDescription
branchDataspaceThe identifier of the specified dataspace - A dataspace is required for this service.
disableAutoCompleteDisable Accept at startBy 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.
firstCallDisplayFirst call display modeDefines 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.
instanceDatasetThe value must be the reference of a dataset that exists in the selected dataspace.
scopeScopeDefines 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.
trackingInfoTracking informationTracking information is logged into 'history' logs. It may also be used for any other purpose like access control or additional export information.
versionSnapshotThe identifier of the specified snapshot - A dataspace is required for this service.
viewPublicationViewThe publication name of the view to display. The view must be configured for the selected table.
xpathDataset 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.
