LookupExtendedProperty

 This activity was not migrated to the new namespaces of the Anthology object model.

The LookupExtendedProperty activity finds the value of a school defined field (SDF) in the SyUserDict table.

Use this activity in conjunction with the SaveExtendedProperty activity to create a workflow that finds and then saves the value of a school defined field in the Anthology Student database.

Note: If multiple school defined fields need to be updated, insert multiple LookupExtendedProperty activities into the workflow, one for each field.

Properties

LookupExtendedProperty Properties
Property Value Required Notes
DisplayName String No Specify a name for the activity or accept the default.
EntityId InArgument<Int32> Yes The SyStudentId for which the school defined field (SDF) value is being retrieved.
ExtendedPropertyName InArgument<String> Yes Select an item from the drop-down list. The list contains all school defined fields from the SyUserDict table.

You can assign the chosen property to a SaveExtendedProperty activity.

Note: When you select an item in the drop-down list, the ExtendedPropertyName property field is populated with the name concatenated with SyUserDictId, separated with a semicolon (;). This is the InArgument value that the activity expects, for example, "Parking Space;19"

ExtendedPropertyValue OutArgument<String> Yes The out argument holds the SyUserValues.FieldValue (if a record is found). This is a variable that can be used as input for subsequent activities in the workflow. Specify the variable's name, type, and scope (and default if applicable) in the Variables pane of the Designer window.
NexusEntityType InArgument<String> Yes Select a NexusEntityType from the drop-down list.

Note: Currently, only the entity "Cmc.Nexus.Sis.Student" is supported.
