11/3/2021 Topic: How to turn a form into a PDF? amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	Hey there, what you're looking for is the HTML to PDF step in the Flow Designer to covert each row of your Data Repeater's information. In the parent Flow of the Form, add the HTML to PDF step after the Form. For this step's input, select the Data Repeater as the HTML's input. You can also set the name of the PDF file under the PDF File Name input. Please let me know if you need further help!
11/4/2021 Topic: Deactivated account impersonation question amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	Yes, since the account is deactivated, it should not be usable even through account impersonation. If you need those specific permissions, I would contact a Admin within your Decisions server for further help.
11/18/2021 Topic: Difference between Sample Data and Unit Tests amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	Sample Data is comprised of a set of Unit Tests and is global for any Flow in your instance expecting the same name and type of input values. This can be useful when attempting to test the same input data in different workflows. Unit tests on the other hand are comprised of the specifics variables you'd like to test, thus they are not global. This is more suited towards testing if specific inputs will pass/fail. Unit Test Rules can further specify the components/inputs/values of whatever you'd like to test through logic. I hope this helps! If you have not seen it already, I recommend checking out our About Unit Testing & Debugging article for more details.
11/18/2021 Topic: Nested Data Repeaters amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	Nested data repeaters are not supported nor recommended. In newer versions this should not even be possible, and if you managed to create this in an older version it will cause needless errors so I would not go through with it. A just as good alternative I can suggest involves using data grids/advanced data grids instead of a nested data repeater. Within the data grid, you will still be able to gather the data you need in a table-esque format. We actually have an example lab based on this build. While constructed in 7.6, I do not forsee it having issues importing into any newer or older instances. Please read through this project, download and import the example zip file, and come back here if you have any questions. https://documentation.decisions.com/projects/docs/nesting-a-data-grid-in-a-data-repeater edited by amber.blanton@decisions.com on 11/18/2021
11/19/2021 Topic: How to check for duplicates in a list amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	Yes, we actually support a couple ways to do this. Regarding steps, there is the Get Distinct List of String step. You can map the list you want to check for its Input, and it will make a new list automatically removing duplicates for its output. The attached GIF named after this step demonstrates the removal of the duplicate Item3 in the example list. Depending on the version you are running, we also have a pre-built 'Get Unique Strings from List' Flow available to search in the Toolbox to enter into your workspace as a Sub flow. When placed into your workspace, set its input to the list you'd like to check and, like the Get Distinct List of String step, it will automatically detect and remove the duplicates from the original list. However, since this is done within another Flow, you can modify its logic to fit other needs in your process such as moving the duplicates to a separate list rather than deleting them by default. This also helps with organization. The GIF attached demonstrates this Flow.
11/19/2021 Topic: Calculate Standard Deviation amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	This example project can be used to calculate standard deviation from a list of Decimal data values. This project is comprised of the math steps necessary to create this formula in Decisions. When debugging/running the Flow, enter a list of Decimal values to get their standard deviation from the Flow's output.
11/19/2021 Topic: Configuring a Transcription Flow in v6 amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	Hey there Grass, On our documentation site, we have the Recording and Transcription article which provides a step-by-step process how to set up transcription for your phone calls assuming its through Telephony services such as Twilio. If you haven't already, please read through this document and come back if you have any further questions!
11/19/2021 Topic: Difference between Forms and Simple Forms amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	Forms and Simple Forms can perform the majority of the same tasks but with some exceptions. This is due to Simple Forms using a more limited designer (the Simple Form Designer) which only supports a select amount of available components. For this reason, certain functions may not be supported in a Simple Form. However, the Simple Form Designer provides users less familiar with the regular Form Designer an easier time creating Forms with the greater focus on a sleeker UI in addition to removing the more niche-case components. If thinking about using a Simple Form over a regular Form, I would suggest considering the functions of the Form and then refer to our About Simple Form article for a glossary of supported components. Otherwise, I would stick with the regular Form.
11/22/2021 Topic: Question About Batch Load in Data Structure Setup amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	With the Batch Load setting enabled, it creates the data type as a database-stored data type with an additional table. This table is a mirror copy of the main table. You can efficiently load large data sets by adding them to the copy and then merging that data onto the main and other tables.
11/22/2021 Topic: Decisions Mobile Apps? amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	Yes to both of your questions: we do have mobile apps available for iOS and Android on their respective app stores. If you search "Decisions workflow", you should see our app available for download. For further explanation of how to set up our mobile apps, please refer to our Setting Up The Decisions Mobile App article. You mentioned using Decisions on your tablet, so I recommend reading our Setup Forms for Mobile and Tablet Devices article for help setting up any Forms for your tablet.
11/22/2021 Topic: Difference between Sequential Rules and Flow Rules amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	Honestly, there is not much different with these in execution. Decisions offers multiple methods of achieving similar goals to fit your needs and own design preferences. As long as the rules are ordered in the way you'd like them to run, they will execute the same whether in the sequential rule or just within a Flow. The only thing I would keep in mind is that True/False sequential rules has two outcomes for the true and false ends, if you'd like to replicate in a Flow instead, you would just need to add another end step.
11/23/2021 Topic: How to Delete a Step Template amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	To delete a step template, open the Studio and navigate to System > Designers > Catalog > Templates to view any and all saved step templates. Right click on the desired template and select the Delete action which should appear as the first Action. After you confirm the deletion, it will be removed. Our Saving Flow Configuration as a Template article covers creation as well as deletion of these templates. If you have further questions about this topic, feel free to check out this article and bounce back here.
11/23/2021 Topic: What are Unit Test Completed Notification Flows? amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	Unit Test Execution Completed Notification Flows are behaviors that send email notification to a specified account detailing unit test successes/failures. This behaviors helps in situations testing various sets of data at different times/ after importing the Flow into a new environment. Our Unit Testing (Advanced) article details the step by step process of setting this behavior up. I hope this answers your question!
11/23/2021 Topic: How to Integrate with Twilio? amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	Hello, for integration help with Twilio I can recommend two resources: First, we have our Creating a Telephony Handler article which provides a step-by-step process of how to integrate with a Telephony service such as Twilio. If you would like further information, our Telephony and Email Notifications webinar provides a more holistic explanation of Telephony integration as it relates to phone calls and SMS. In addition, the webinar also demonstrates how to set this up so if you prefer to see this occur in real time, I would recommend giving this a watch. Of course, if you are experiencing further issues/have any lingering questions, come back to this thread and/or email support@decisions.com for help.
11/23/2021 Topic: What are Flow Structures? amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	To broadly answer your question, Flow Structures are great when you'd like to organize data, but would not like to store it in the database. Example use cases of this could involve the return of an API call. The Flow Structure structures the data for API formats, but after retrieving the desired data from the call, you'd want to map it into a different data structure to save it. If you haven't read it yet, I recommend our Creating a Simple Flow Structure article for more information about how to set this up, its limitations, and its perks.
11/24/2021 Topic: Set order of data structure fields? amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	To set the display order of any data structure's fields, click on the field you'd like to configure and expand its Advanced settings. Scroll down to view the Display Order. By default, this value will be 0 but this can be changed to match the order you'd like. Alternatively, you may use a Create Data step in a Flow and create and map these fields from top to bottom to match the order you'd like these to appear in Flow logic. I would only use this method if the first does not work for some reason since the first is simpler to complete.
11/24/2021 Topic: Get Files from Azure Blob amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	When retrieving files, the blob returns a set of FileData for the actual files stored inside it. Our Using Azure Storage Steps articles covers how to both upload and download files in and out of Azure Storage Blob. This covers the step-by-step process of how to do this and where these steps are located.
11/24/2021 Topic: Disable Autofill on Forms amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	Given Decisions runs in a browser, your browser's autofill settings will likely affect this more effectively than Decisions. If you are running on Chrome, I can recommend this article to help. Otherwise, I would look up your own browser's autofill settings and work accordingly from there to turn it off.
11/24/2021 Topic: Add to Image Library amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	Yes, you can add a new folder with the desired SVG files to this library so you can easily pick them instead of uploading them everytime you'd like to use the SVG. To do this, you can add the folder to the following filepath if hosting: C:\Program Files\Decisions\Images If Decisions is hosting the server for you, contact support about this image request and we can help from there.
11/24/2021 Topic: How to get IP address of submitting user amber.blanton@decisions.com Administrator	You can do this with the LoginHistory built-in data type which contains the IP Address of the user who logged in. A Fetch Entities step can be set to retrieve this data type from your data. From here, this can be logged, displayed in a Form, etc. Assuming the user needs to login to an account to submit your Form, this method will work for you.
