What is the scope of a work variable in vDesigner 2.0, and where should it be stored?

Scope of a work Variable:

  • Decision-Making in Workflows: Work variables define how decisions are made during a user’s journey, controlling the flow and outcomes of the process.

  • Data Retention Post-Journey: They can be used for temporary processing or persisted depending on the use case.

  • Storage Options:

    • Embedded within business entities to maintain consistency.
    • Stored as separate persistable entities to reduce complexity in business objects.

Examples:

  • OTP_VERIFICATION_STATUS
  • PAN_AADHAAR_SEEDING_SCENARIOS_JOURNEY_STATUS
  • InquiredWithSecurityGuard

Storage Considerations:

  • Work variables can be stored within business entities as new objects.
  • Alternatively, they can exist as separate persistable entities.
  • The storage mechanism depends on the use case (e.g., whether data needs to be retained post-journey).
  • Examples: OTP_VERIFICATION_STATUS, haveMetCustomerAtMailAdd, InquiredWithSecurityGuard, PAN_AADHAAR_SEEDING_SCENARIOS_JOURNEY_STATUS, PAN_AADHAAR_SEEDING_SCENARIOS_JOURNEY_MESSAGE etc.
