Diagram Context Menus - LiveCompare Editors
Workflows (Diagram Nodes)
| Menu Item | Description |
|---|---|
| View Details | Displays the details for the currently selected diagram node. |
| View Component Summary | Available for workflow actions. Displays a summary of the selected component, including its name, action type and parameter definitions. The ‘Parameters’ section shows the name, type and value for each of the node’s action properties, with values that refer to other workflow components shown in blue. |
| View Source | Displays the XML source code for the currently selected diagram node. |
| View Contents | Available for Vault parameters and datasets. Displays the contents of the specified Vault. |
| Run To Here | Saves the workflow and runs it from the node marked with an arrow up to (but not including) the currently selected workflow action. |
| Abort Run | Aborts the execution of the workflow. |
| Toggle Breakpoint | Sets or clears a breakpoint for the currently selected workflow action. Use the Call Tree or the ‘Open Workflow’ context menu item when setting breakpoints in called workflows. |
| Set Next Action | Sets the currently selected workflow action as the next to be executed. |
| Continue | Continues the execution of the workflow, following a break or abort. |
| Run This Only | Saves the workflow and runs the currently selected workflow action only. This option is not supported for Run Workflow actions. |
| Define Action Parameters | For actions that allow new action parameters to be defined, this option starts the Define Action Parameters Wizard. |
| Edit <Action Property> | For parameter nodes with an associated editor, this option edits the parameter’s action property. |
| Edit <Parameter> | This option may be available for actions that have default parameters. The option opens an editor for the default parameter. |
| View Metadata | Displays the field names, field types, key fields and field descriptions for the currently selected Table dataset. The dataset’s workspace name, workflow ID and internal table name are also shown. |
| Make Table Parameter | Creates a Table parameter with the same column definitions as the currently selected Table dataset. The Table parameter is populated with rows from the Table dataset, up to a maximum of 100 rows. |
| Delete | Deletes the currently selected diagram node and removes its links to other nodes. |
| Configure Web Service | For Run Web Service actions, this option starts the Configure Web Service Wizard. |
| Get RFC Signature | For Generic RFC Call actions, this option starts the RFC Signature Builder Wizard. |
| Open Workflow | For Run Workflow actions, this option displays the currently bound workflow. |
| Bind Workflow | For Run Workflow actions, this option starts the Workflow Binding Wizard. This option is not available in child workflows accessed from the Call Tree, or from a Run Workflow action’s ‘Open Workflow’ context menu item. |
| Create Default Dashboard Spec | For Create Dashboard Report actions, this option creates a Dashboard specification that displays a pie chart for each of the action’s Source properties that is linked to a Table dataset. |
| Help on <Component> | Displays online help for the selected component. |
Note: The use of the ‘Set Next Action’ and ‘Run This Only’ context menu options may lead to unknown results or software crashes, for example if execution is transferred to outside of a loop structure, or to a called workflow.
Workflows (Diagram Background)
| Menu Item | Description |
|---|---|
| View Source | Displays the XML source code for the workflow. The ‘Modified’ tag in a workflow’s XML code displays the date and time when the workflow was last modified. |
| Hide Parameters | Toggle this setting to hide or display parameter nodes (and their associated links) in workflows. |
| Show Process Run | Displays the workflow’s Process Run screen. |
| Reset | Resets the workflow and clears all its result datasets. If a Run Workflow action has been used to call another workflow, the called workflow is reset and reloaded from the LiveCompare hierarchy. Note that the ‘Reset’ option is not supported for called workflows directly. |
| Run Now | Runs the workflow from the next action to be run. |
| Schedule Run | Schedules the execution of the currently selected workflow. |
| Abort Run | Aborts the execution of the workflow. |
| Show Next Action | Scrolls the Workflow Editor to display the current action in running workflows, or the next action to be run in workflows that have been paused or reset. |
| Track Next Action | Toggle this menu item to have the Workflow Editor track the currently running workflow action. This option switched off if a workflow is scrolled manually while it is running, using either the workflow canvas or the Mini Map. |
| Step | Saves the workflow and runs the next workflow action to be executed. This action is marked with an arrow. |
| Step Into | Saves the workflow and steps into the Run Workflow action marked with an arrow. The called workflow is displayed. |
| Step Out | Steps out of a called workflow to return to the calling workflow. |
| Continue | Saves the workflow and continues its execution, following a break or abort. |
| Break | Pauses execution after the currently running workflow action. |
| Clear All Breakpoints | Removes all the breakpoints in the workflow. |
| Copy Workflow to Clipboard | Copies the XML source code for the workflow to the Windows Clipboard. If you are using Google Chrome, a separate dialog is displayed from which you may copy the workflow’s XML code. |
| Paste Workflow from Clipboard | Pastes a copied workflow into a new diagram. The diagram’s previous contents are overwritten. If you are using Google Chrome, a separate dialog is displayed into which you may paste the workflow’s XML code. |
| Share Workflow | Displays a dialog which allows the workflow to be sent as an email attachment, using the email settings specified in the Configuration - Email screen. If necessary, the workflow may be emailed to Tricentis Technical Support. |
Workflow Templates
| Menu Item | Description |
|---|---|
| View Source | Available from the diagram background. Displays the XML source code for the workflow template. |
| Hide Parameters | Available from the diagram background. Toggle this setting to hide or display parameter nodes (and their associated links) in workflow templates. |
| Copy Workflow to Clipboard | Copies the XML source code for the workflow template to the Windows Clipboard. If you are using Google Chrome, a separate dialog is displayed from which you may copy the workflow template’s XML code. |
| Share Workflow | Available from the diagram background. Displays a dialog which allows the workflow to be sent as an email attachment, using the settings specified in the Configuration - Email screen. If necessary, the workflow may be emailed to Tricentis Technical Support. |
| View Component Summary | Available for workflow actions. Displays a summary of the selected component, including its name, ID and parameter definitions. The ‘Parameters’ section shows the name, type and value for each of the node’s action properties, with values that refer to other workflow components shown in blue. |
| Help on <Component> | Displays online help for the selected component. |
Note: If a template workflow is run using the Run Workflow action, its diagram background and components include the context menu items that are available to workflows.
