VertiGIS FM Activities

This project contains activities for interacting with the VertiGIS FM OData services in a VertiGIS Studio Workflow.

Requirements

VertiGIS Studio Workflow Versions

The VertiGIS FM activities are designed to work with VertiGIS Studio Workflow versions 5.27 and above.

VertiGIS FM Versions

The VertiGIS FM activities are designed to work VertiGIS FM versions 10 and above.

Usage

To use the VertiGIS FM activities in VertiGIS Studio Workflow Designer you need to register an activity pack and then add the activities to a workflow.

Register the VertiGIS FM activity pack

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS
2. Go to My Content
3. Select Add Item > An application
   • Type: Web Mapping
   • Purpose: Ready To Use
   • API: JavaScript
   • URL: The URL to this activity pack manifest
     • Use https://unpkg.com/@vertigis/workflow-activities-fm/activitypack.json for the latest version
     • Use https://unpkg.com/@vertigis/workflow-activities-fm@1.0.0/activitypack.json for a specific version
     • Use https://localhost:5000/activitypack.json for a local development version
   • Title: Your desired title
   • Tags: Must include geocortex-workflow-activity-pack
4. Reload VertiGIS Studio Workflow Designer
5. The VertiGIS FM activities will now appear in the activity toolbox in a VertiGIS FM category

Use the VertiGIS FM activities in a workflow

1. Establish a connection to the VertiGIS FM service
   1. Add the Create VertiGIS FM Service activity to a workflow
   2. Set the URL input to the root URL of your VertiGIS FM server. For example, https://dev.gebman.com/.
   3. If you have a username and password, assign them to the Username and Password inputs
   • IMPORTANT: tokens and passwords are credentials that should not be hard coded into workflows. These values should be acquired by the workflow at runtime from the end user or from another secure system.
2. Use the VertiGIS FM service
   1. Add one of the other VertiGIS FM activities to the workflow. For example, Get VertiGIS FM OData Collection.
   2. Set the Service input of the activity to be the output of the Create VertiGIS FM Service activity
      • Typically this would use an expression like =$fmService1.service
   3. Supply any additional inputs to the activity
   4. Supply the result output of the activity to the inputs of other activities in the workflow
3. Run the workflow

Development

This project was bootstrapped with the VertiGIS Studio Workflow SDK. Before you can use your activity pack in the VertiGIS Studio Workflow Designer, you will need to register the activity pack.

Available Scripts

Inside the newly created project, you can run some built-in commands:

npm run generate

Interactively generate a new activity or form element.

npm start

Runs the project in development mode. Your activity pack will be available at http://localhost:5000/main.js. The HTTPS certificate of the development server is a self-signed certificate that web browsers will warn about. To work around this open https://localhost:5000/main.js in a web browser and allow the invalid certificate as an exception. For creating a locally-trusted HTTPS certificate see the Configuring a HTTPS Certificate section on the VertiGIS Studio Developer Center.

npm run build

Builds the activity pack for production to the build folder. It optimizes the build for the best performance.

Your custom activity pack is now ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment in the VertiGIS Studio Developer Center for more information.
