Snapshot process in interactive flowcharts

The Snapshot process in interactive flowcharts fills the same purpose of Snapshot processes in batch flowcharts to capture a list of IDs and associated data, and export them to a table. The interactive flowchart Snapshot process contains a subset of the batch flowchart Snapshot process. You can save to a table only. However, you also cannot order or skip duplicate entries in the table because interactive flowcharts handle only one record at a time, these features are not necessary.

Snapshot and data formats

When saving to an existing table from the Snapshot process, Interact saves data as described in the following table.

From	to Text (String)	to Number (Double)	to Date (Date)
Text (String)	Original Value	Double	SimpleDateFormat as defined in defaultDateFormat configuration property
Number (Double)	String	Original Value	Throws exception
Date (Date)	SimpleDateFormat as defined in defaultDateFormat configuration property	Throws Exception	Original Value

When writing to a table that does not already exist, the Interact runtime environment dynamically creates a table by using default data types. You can override these default data types by creating a table of alternate data types. For more information, see the Interact Administrator's Guide.
