Material Consumption and Replenishment Process Flow Template

I am using Material Consumption and Replenishment Process Flow Template, I found for each instance we need to manually go to process flow variables and update it. As number of processors increases it will be difficult to update the variables manually.

I have process flow variables input values in Global table for each processor as shown in below image and is there any way to update the process flow variables for each instance through this global table through code or different approach. Instead of going to each instance and update the same.

I am attaching the model for reference

If you want all the values to be pulled from a table then I would just stop using the process flow variables. As you've noticed, there's not an easy way to set them. In this model it looks like they're only being used to set some values on the token and on the current object when the model starts. So I would modify the model to pull those values from the table rather than from the process flow variables like in this model:

mcr-fromtable.fsm

I am not sure if this will be a solution to your problem but could be helpful.

Create a Dashboard and insert a Static Text for reference and a Dynamic Text for input. (Those options are found at the bottom of your library for the Dashboard.)

Create a Global Variable. You can then connect the Dynamic text to the Global Variable.


In Process Flow or Global Table you can then connect that to the global variables that you might be changing often and rather than going to every instance you can change that variable from the Dashboard.

I hope that is helpful.

@zachary.h thanks for your suggestion.

Could you please attach sample model. It will help me to understand. Thank you
