Enumeration and other things

[ankitkochar]

Hi All,

I have a query related to enumeration, does any one have any idea where does the enumeration values and their meaning gets stored in database - is there any standard table which stores this ?

For example if we check xtk:workflow schema in documentation tab we can find out the corresponding enumeration mapping values below (for workflow status)

Label	Name	Value	Description
Finished	stopped	5	The instance is finished.
In progress	running	1	The instance is currently being executed.
Not started	init	0	The instance is not running.
Stop in progress	stopping	4	The tasks are currently being stopped.
Suspended	suspended	3	The instance is suspended.

But is this information readily available somewhere in any database table ?

Also, if I just hover mouse on any of these link in documentation link it shows something like javascript:showItem('enum:xtk:workflow:workflowStatus') - does it mean it is calling some javascript to generate this info, if yes which script is this and can we use it ?

Regards,

Ankit

Hi,

Schema-defined enums are stored in the schema itself. They can be extracted in export activities or by parsing the schema def in js.

Db enums are stored in the xtk:enum/enumValue schemas.

The hover you're seeing is some simple js in the documentation page to toggle display:none/block for what you're clicking.

Thanks,
