Get Data Types

Properties

This activity does not require any input properties, as it retrieves all available data types from the platform.

Usage

  1. Setup Activity:
  2. Add the "Get Data Types" activity to your UiPath workflow.
  3. No additional configuration is necessary, as the activity is designed to retrieve all data types available on the platform.
  4. Execution:
  5. The activity executes asynchronously, querying the platform to retrieve a collection of data type objects.
  6. It uses the configured API context to access the data types via the system client.
  7. Output:
  8. The activity returns aList<DataTypeViewModel>, representing the collection of platform-specific data types.

Considerations

  • Data Retrieval: The activity retrieves all available data types from the platform, which can then be used in subsequent workflow steps for various operations.
  • Permissions: Verify that the necessary permissions are in place for the user or application retrieving the data types to prevent unauthorized actions.
  • Error Handling: Implement error handling to manage potential issues such as network connectivity problems or unexpected API responses.
