LookupServiceListItem

The LookupReferenceItem activity replaces the LookupServiceListItem activity in the new Anthology Student object model. For new or migrated workflows, use the LookupReferenceItem activity under Cmc.Nexus.Common.Workflow.

The LookupServiceListItem activity can be used to retrieve a list of records from the Student Services module. This enables you to reference specific list record data for use within the workflow you are designing. One common use for this is to populate the value of an attribute that is part of an entity record that will be created/updated as within the workflow logic when an instance of the workflow is executed.

The Service Item Types include the following:

After you select the Service Item Type from the drop-down list, the Service List Item drop-down list is populated with valid values for the selected Service Item Type.

For example:

• If you select Athletic Status in the Service Item Type list, the Service List Item list displays all Athletic Status values that are configured in the Anthology Student database.

• If you select Veteran Code in the Service Item Type list, the Service List Item list displays all Veteran Codes that are configured in the Anthology Student database.

You can use multiple LookupServiceListItem activities within a workflow.

Note: The Service List Item field can be a variable that gets a value from the Service List Item Entity object from the event. As shown in the example below, the EventDocType is a variable of type LookupItem.
