STEP Manager Bind

The STEP Manager binds current context and workspace, and is a general gateway into the API. This binding enables access to information about the current user, current context, and objects not available using the Current Object binding.

Important: For business conditions run On Approve, the STEP Manager binding applies to the current context and the main workspace. When run After Approval, the STEP Manager binding applies to current context and the approved workspace.

The bind can be found within the 'Binds to' dropdown, as shown below.

Configuration

To use any bind:

1. Create a business rule as defined in the Creating a Business Rule or Library topic here.
2. Edit the business rule as defined in the Editing a Business Rule topic here.
3. In the Edit Operation dialog, add the bind to a business rule, as defined in the Adding a Bind topic in the Reference Materials documentation here.
4. In the Edit Operation dialog, optionally add Messages, as defined in the Adding a Localized Business Rule Message topic here.
5. In the Edit Operation dialog, add JavaScript to call the bind.

Example

The following is example JavaScript that uses this bind.

Important: The example scripts should not be used as-is without thorough testing, including updating the script to match object and link types that exist on your system.

The STEP Manager is bound in as manager, and gets the value of the Attribute 'Description' on a specific product in current context / workspace.

var value = manager.getProductHome().getProductByID("Specific Product").getValue("Description").getSimpleValue();
