vcNextProcessFlowInfo
NextFlowInfo indicates a direction (inexact location) in the product flow, with extra parameters (ForceExactFlowStep/ForceExactProcessGroup) to indicate how to evaluate this direction. Internally, it will be expanded into multiple FeedOptionFlowInfo objects, which in turn will be used for Feed-Need matching. Used in Product’s NextProcessFlowInfo.
Properties
| Name | Type | Access | Description |
| FlowStep | vcProcessFlowStep | RW | Specifies ProcessFlowStep |
| Group | vcProcessGroup | RW | Specifies ProcessGroup inside the FlowStep. |
| ForceExactFlowStep | Boolean | RW | Expansion into vcFeedOptionFlowInfo objects may result in multiple options with multiple FlowSteps (e.g., when given FlowStep is Optional). Setting this to True will filter the results to contain only the given FlowStep. |
| ForceExactProcessGroup | Boolean | RW | Expansion into vcFeedOptionFlowInfo objects may result in multiple options with multiple ProcessGroups (e.g., when given FlowStep contains multiple ProcessGroups). Setting this to True will filter the results to contain only the given ProcessGroup (based on GroupID). |
Methods
| Name | Return Type | Parameters | Description |
| new | vcNextProcessFlowInfo | None | Creates an empty vcNextProcessFlowInfo with both FlowStep and Group being None. |
