How to's for the FlowSustainer guide.

How to resume a paused process using Flow Sustainer?​

  1. Add a Flow Sustainer component to your workflow.
  2. In the ProcessId field, provide either a static process number or a dynamic variable (e.g., {{FlowIdVariable.Value}}).
  3. In the ObjectName field, enter the system name of the target component (e.g., FlowStopApproval).
  4. In the EventId field, provide the Identity of the event to trigger (e.g., 5 for Approve).
  5. Save and run the flow. The process will resume from the specified point.

Practical use case of Flow Sustainer​

  1. A flow halts at a Flow Stop node named FlowStopApproval.
  2. The user enters a process number in a NumberBox field on the form.
  3. In ProcessId, set {{EnteredFlowNumber.Value}}.
  4. In ObjectName, set FlowStopApproval.
  5. In EventId, enter the Identity of the desired event (e.g., 5 for Approve).
  6. The Flow Sustainer resumes the paused process from that point.

How to find the EventId of a component?​

  1. Open the flow design and select the target component (e.g., Flow Stop).
  2. Navigate to the Events tab in the Properties panel.
  3. Locate the event you want to trigger (e.g., Approve or Reject).
  4. Copy its Identity number and use it in the Flow Sustainer’s EventId field.
