How can I dot-walk into the record in the ATF Step

[Susmitha14]

Hi,

I want to dot-walk the record which is created in one step i.e "RECORD INSERT". I want to use those record field values in record query step. How is it possible in ATF Step? But when I am using Data piller I am able to get only record sysid,i.e document ID .but how can I able to get record  values of a record also

I was trying to do something like what the poster asked,  so I tried to follow your steps.  But when I tried to create an output variable of type reference, I get an error that I don't understand how to resolve.

Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Shannon

Hi Shannon, sorry about that. I should have confirmed the steps.

You'll need to add the Reference field to the form.

Once you do that, you'll use the Reference field to select the table the record you're referring to is in.

Based on this, I see that it won't be possible to create a Generic Document_ID to reference function, since you'll have to specify the table when you define your output variable. I believe that we have to set the reference table in the Output variable so that when you are configuring the step, the UI knows what fields to make available for you to dot-walk to.

Hope this helps.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Cody
