Workflow nodes: Check, Condition, Value — gull system handbook

The Check the inputs / model / drawing, Condition with True and False outputs and Value nodes in a gull system workflow: settings, where a check is confirmed, computer roles.

Workflow nodes: Check, Condition, Value

Three nodes that put a person, a decision or a value into an order's path. They are inserted from the editor's ribbon.

Check

An order stops at a check and nothing after it is written until someone clicks Confirm or Cancel. It is the way to let a person look at the model before the drawings are exported.

• Property: What is checked - Meaning: Check the inputs (before generation), Check the model (after Model generation), Check the drawing (after Drawing generation; only an Export may follow)
• Property: What to check - Meaning: a free note for whoever checks: "check the view positions"
• Property: Who does it - Meaning: a role; empty = anyone
• Where a check is confirmed. In the Log on the order, on Home → Waiting for you with Open in SOLIDWORKS, or in the SOLIDWORKS panel under Checks (n). Meanwhile the order's status is Awaiting a check.

Condition

A formula in the rule language with two outputs, True and False. The order continues along the branch matching the result. From False with no line the order ends — the Log says "A workflow condition ended the order".

• A condition sees the order's inputs and the `=` comparison: `[Quantity] > 10`, `[Type] = "Special"`.
• Library tables and step 3 variables are not visible to a condition.
• Typical use: send large orders through Check the model, small ones straight to export.

Value

Fills one input of the order before the rules are evaluated. It is the only way to get a number, a date or the user's name into an order.

• Source: User - What it gives: the signed-in user's name
• Source: Constant - What it gives: a fixed Text

Into input is the name of the input the node fills; the input must exist in step 2 of a connected configurator, otherwise the node warns "No connected configurator has an input of this name". The full procedure is in Number the orders.
