RSBScript for RSSBus Workflow

This section explains how to use RSSBus Workflow templates to add advanced functionality to your Workflows. Templates are text files that can contain RSBScript control statements that include

• Call statements, and
• Flow control logic

You can use existing, pre-built templates, by simply selecting one or you can create your own by editing the content of an existing template. The RSSBus Workflow has a simple editor that allows you to edit the template of associated with it. Each instance of the Workflow has its own template.

The most commonly used keywords in a Workflow template are: rsb:import, and rsb:call. The rsb:import keyword is used to import a connector to be used in a RSSBus Workflow template. The rsb:call keyword is then used to call an RSSBus operation and get data from it. In addition to these commonly used RSBScript keywords, most workflow scripts also use the Workflow Item and Workflow List. The Workflow Item provides access to fields of the item being processed by the workflow and the Workflow List provides access to the properties of the SharePoint list being processed.

Just getting familiar with the concepts described on this page will allow you to better understand the pre-configured RSSBus Workflows included with the product. Use these pre-configured workflow templates as a starting point for authoring your own templates.
