* Represents mandatory fields to execute the workflow
Here's an example of how the “AppendText” activity works in the workflow –
The following is a simple example that demonstrates how to write an additional text
to the existing input word document.
1. Create a solution for building a workflow.
2. Install the "Word" feature from the "Manage Features" menu.
3. Drag and drop the "AppendText" activity onto the wordscope application body.
4. Double-click the activity to provide the essential details.
a. Next, moving to the “InputString” field, here I am providing the input text
as “Today’s weather has been pleasant.”
c. Now, navigating to the “AtTop” field in the properties section, here I am
specifying the value as “True” to append the text at the top of the page
in the word document.
d. Moving to the “Result” property in the output section to declare
a variable to view the output.
i. There are two methods to store the spied value in the variable.
ii. Method 1: Double-click on the variable parameter in the “Output” section
and enter a name that helps you easily identify it in the flow. Here, I'm using
the name "Result" and using the shortcut key "Ctrl+Q" to create the variable.
iii. Method 2: Click on the variable pane, enter your preferred name
(here, I'm using "Result"), and choose the data type as "String" since the
output value accepts the string data type.
5. You can add a write log activity next to the “AppendText” activity to
view the output.
6. Now, execute the workflow to view the results.
Below is a sample of the output of the activity.
