Example

The following example demonstrates typical use of Workflow Engine function setSituationFlag.

If you want to set the Situation's flag to "TICKETED", enter the following:

  • flag: TICKETED

The UI translates your settings to the following JSON:

{"flag":"TICKETED"}

Given a Situation with the following flag:

{
    "situationFlags": [
        "TICKET_PENDING"
    ]
}

The Workflow Engine updates the object as follows:

{
    "situationFlags": [
        "TICKETED"
    ]
}
