Set Application Data Activity

Description

The Set Application Data activity sets data in the application that can later be retrieved by the Get Application Data activity. The data set by this activity can be used by all workflows in the application until the application reloads or closes.

Usage

You may want to use this activity to share information between workflows within the application. You could use the Set Application Data activity to set data, like a geometry, in the application. You could then use the Get Application Data activity in another workflow to retrieve that geometry and use it within that workflow.

Inputs

Key

Required

Type: String

The unique key for the data you would like to store.

Visibility

Optional

Type: "memory" | "application" | "global" | String

How the data is shared with other applications. Use "global" when the value needs to be shared between several runs of any application. Use "application" when the value needs to be used in several runs of the current application. Use "memory" when the value only needs to be used in the current run of the current application. The default value is "memory".

The following table shows the scope (how widely visible the data is) and lifetime (how long the data exists) for each of the options.
