This code appears to be part of a Microsoft Power Automate workflow (previously known as Microsoft Flow) or similar low-code/no-code automation environment. Here's a detailed description of what the code accomplishes:
Overview:
The workflow processes a list of files or items retrieved from a SharePoint list where the "Open Status" is equal to "Open". For each item, it performs various checks and updates in SharePoint. The purpose of this Flow seems to handle job postings and their statuses, specifically for "Sworn" employees, and update relevant metadata or dependent entities.
Key Steps:
-
Iterate through items ("For Each"):
- It loops through the results of the action
Get_files_(properties_only)_-_Open_Status_=_Open
. Theforeach
statement iterates over the values in the array (body/value
).
- It loops through the results of the action
-
Set a Variable (
Set_variable_Job_Posting_Lookup
):- A variable named
JobPostingLookup
is set to the value of the{Name}
field for the current item being processed in the loop.
- A variable named
-
Check if the Employee Type is "Sworn":
- An
If
condition checks whether theEmployeeType/Value
field of the current item equals"Sworn"
. - If it’s not "Sworn", no specific actions are performed.
- An
-
Update File Properties:
- If the condition (
EmployeeType = Sworn
) is met, the workflow updates the file properties in a SharePoint list. Specifically:- "Open Status" is updated to
"Open"
. - "JobPosting" is updated with the
JobPostingLookup
variable. - Additional metadata properties such as
SectionUnit
andJobPostingLink
are configured.
- "Open Status" is updated to
- If the condition (
-
Handle Items with Null
HRPostingID
:- Another
If
condition checks whether theHRPostingID
field of the current item is null. - If it's null, no further actions occur.
- Another
-
Handle Items with Non-Null
HRPostingID
:- If
HRPostingID
is not null, additional actions are performed on related SharePoint items:- Fetches the item associated with the
HRPostingID
from another SharePoint list (Get_file_properties_HR_Posting_Sworn_Posting
). - Updates the fetched item's
"OpenStatus"
property to"Open"
.
- Fetches the item associated with the
- If
-
Process Related "SAR" Item:
- After updating the item with
HRPostingID
, the workflow looks up another related item using a SAR lookup field and retrieves its details (Get_item_HR_Posting_SAR
).
- After updating the item with
-
Update the SAR Item:
- The
"ApprovalStatus"
for the SAR item is updated to"Active"
. - Additional metadata, such as
"SectionUnit"
and"PostingComments"
, is updated based on other variable values in the workflow.
- The
-
Convert and Format Time Zone (Optional Step):
- The workflow converts the
OpenDate
field of the current item to a specific time zone (Pacific Standard Time
) and formats the result (e.g.,"MMMM dd, yyyy"
).
- The workflow converts the
-
Build "SARComments" Variable:
- A variable named
SARComments
is updated with a combination of existing comments, the formatted timestamp, and some metadata describing an update about the posting being "Opened on Internal Job Board".
- A variable named
Summary:
The workflow automates the processing of job-related SharePoint records. Specifically:
- It loops through items in a SharePoint list with an "Open" status.
- If the item’s
EmployeeType
is "Sworn," it updates the record and links related job postings and metadata. - It handles additional logic for related postings (e.g.,
HRPostingID
and SAR records) by fetching, updating, and maintaining consistency in dependent SharePoint lists. - It formats time zones, updates tracking variables (e.g.,
SARComments
), and ensures proper statuses are set across relevant entities in SharePoint.
This is typically used in HR systems for job management, postings, and approvals.
