LookupTerms (V2)
The LookupTerms activity is a function that captures the Campus Id from an event and returns the Terms for a specified time period.
Use Cases
You could use this activity in a workflow on a Saving event since the Expected Start Date is entered on the Student Master form. The workflow could check whether a valid term start date is entered and provide a validation message.
Another way to use LookupTerms is to create a workflow with a ForEach loop that lists Term start dates within a certain time period of Expected Start Date. The list of Term start dates could be displayed in an Information message.
