Action Description
The “Schedule Set Field” T-workflow action allows access to the ScheduALL site via web services and sets a value on the database field.
You need to enter the URL address, user name and password to authenticate the remote access to the ScheduALL site.
During T-workflow execution, the following criteria were applied:
•If the ScheduAll field is blank, T-workflow updates the field with the MAM value.
•If the ScheduAll field matches the MAM field, T-workflow exists on the “ScheduAll field updated” path without updating the field.
•If the ScheduAll and MAM fields are unmatched, the T-workflow action exits on the “ScheduAll not updated” path.
•If ScheduAll asset and MAM Asset ID are unmatched, the T-workflow action exits on the “ScheduAll reference not exist” path.
•If the MAM field is blank, T-workflow would exit on the “ScheduAll reference not exist” path.
