Fields

Explanation: the field’s ToolTip in the code; without one, the ToolTip of a page control bound to the field (marked via the page); without that, its Caption (marked caption) when that differs from the name.

No.	Name	Type	Explanation	Notes
1	ID	Guid	Specifies the ID of the workflow step instance. via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”
2	Workflow Code	Code[20]	Specifies the workflow that the workflow step instance belongs to. via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”	TableRelation Table 1502 “Workflow Step” (“Workflow Step”.“Workflow Code”)
3	Workflow Step ID	Integer	Specifies the ID of workflow step in the workflow that the workflow step instance belongs to. via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”	TableRelation Table 1502 “Workflow Step” (“Workflow Step”.ID where(“Workflow Code” = field(“Workflow Code”)))
4	Description	Text[100]	Specifies the workflow step instance. via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”
9	Entry Point	Boolean	Specifies the workflow step that starts the workflow. The first workflow step is always of type Entry Point. via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”
11	Record ID	RecordID	—
12	Created Date-Time	DateTime	Specifies the date and time when the workflow step instance was created. via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”	not editable
13	Created By User ID	Code[50]	Specifies the user who created the workflow step instance. via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”	TableRelation User.“User Name”; not editable; DataClassification EndUserIdentifiableInformation
14	Last Modified Date-Time	DateTime	Specifies the date and time when a user last participated in the workflow step instance. via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”	not editable
15	Last Modified By User ID	Code[50]	Specifies the user who last participated in the workflow step instance. via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”	TableRelation User.“User Name”; not editable; DataClassification EndUserIdentifiableInformation
17	Status	Option	Specifies the status of the workflow step instance. Active means that the step instance in ongoing. Completed means that the workflow step instance is done. Ignored means that the workflow step instance was skipped in favor of another path. via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”	OptionCaption: Inactive,Active,Completed,Ignored,Processing
18	Previous Workflow Step ID	Integer	Specifies the step that you want to precede the step that you are specifying on the line. You use this field to specify branching of steps when one of multiple possible events does not occur and you want the following step to specify another possible event as a branch of the previous step. In this c… via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”
19	Next Workflow Step ID	Integer	Specifies another workflow step than the next one in the sequence that you want to start, for example, because the event on the workflow step failed to meet a condition. via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”
21	Type	Option	Specifies if the workflow step instance is an event, a response, or a sub-workflow. via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”	OptionCaption: Event,Response
22	Function Name	Code[128]	Specifies the name of the function that is used by the workflow step instance. via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”	TableRelation Table 1520 “Workflow Event”, Table 1521 “Workflow Response” (if (Type = const(Event)) “Workflow Event” else if (Type = const(Response)) “Workflow Response”)
23	Argument	Guid	Specifies the values of the parameters that are required by the workflow step instance. via Page 1504 “Workflow Step Instances”	TableRelation Table 1523 “Workflow Step Argument” (“Workflow Step Argument” where(Type = field(Type)))
30	Original Workflow Code	Code[20]	—	TableRelation Table 1502 “Workflow Step” (“Workflow Step”.“Workflow Code”)
31	Original Workflow Step ID	Integer	—	TableRelation Table 1502 “Workflow Step” (“Workflow Step”.ID where(“Workflow Code” = field(“Original Workflow Code”)))
32	Sequence No.	Integer	—

Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an Object::"Name" argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

Codeunit 1550 “Record Restriction Mgt.” (1 call: RemoveRecordRestrictions → AllowRecordUsage)

Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "table", object_name: "Workflow Step Instance"), then bcatlas_get_procedure_body or bcatlas_get_neighbors on the returned id.
