Activities
Primitives
The following activities belong to the primitives category:
Set Context ID
Sets the workflow instance's ContextId property using the specified value.
This property works in conjunction with the configured Workflow Context of the workflow definition. When set, Elsa will try and load the workflow context using a custom workflow context provider defined by the application with the specified context ID.
A context ID typically represents a unique identifier associated with a custom domain model.
More details about workflow context can be found here.
Properties
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Context Id | The value to set as the Context ID. |
Set Name
Sets the Name property of the workflow instance to the specified value. Setting a workflow name can be helpful when trying to identify workflow instances that are associated with domain models.
For example, if you have a workflow that handles a customer, you might set the workflow instance's Name property to the customer's name. You can then search for workflow instances associated with this name.
Properties
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Value | The value to set as the workflow instance's name. |
Set Transient Variable
Sets a workflow variable that is stored transiently. This means that the variable will only exist for the duration of the current burst of execution.
This is in contrast to the Set Variable activity, which will store the variable as part of the workflow instance.
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Variable Name | The name of the variable to set. |
| Value | The value to store in the variable. |
Set Variable
Sets a workflow variable that is stored persistently as part of the workflow instance.
This is in contrast to the Set Transient Variable activity, which will store the variable transiently.
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Variable Name | The name of the variable to set. |
| Value | The value to store in the variable. |
