Cartegraph activities for VertiGIS Studio Workflow
npm install @vertigis/workflow-activities-cartegraph
This project contains activities for interacting with the Cartegraph REST API in a VertiGIS Studio Workflow.
The Cartegraph activities are designed to work with Cartegraph versions 28.1 and above.
The Cartegraph activities are designed to work with VertiGIS Studio Workflow versions 5.36 and above.
To use the Cartegraph activities in VertiGIS Studio Workflow Designer you need to register an activity pack and then add the activities to a workflow.

1. Reload VertiGIS Studio Workflow Designer
1. The Cartegraph activities will now appear in the activity toolbox in a Cartegraph category
1. Establish a connection to the Cartegraph service
1. Add the Create Cartegraph Service activity to a workflow
1. Set the URL input to the root URL of your Cartegraph server. For example, https://yourserver.com/cartegraph.
1. Ensure the user is signed into Cartegraph in their current web browser session
1. Add the Get Cartegraph Session Info activity to a workflow
1. Set the Service input of the activity to be the output of the Create Cartegraph Service activity
1. If the isAuthenticated output of the activity is true then the user is signed in. If the user is not signed in, do one of the following:
- Use a Display Form activity to present the user with a message that they need to sign into Cartegraph first.
- The form could include a link to the Cartegraph sign-in page using =$cgService1.service.signInUrl.
- Use a Display Form activity to prompt the user for their username and password and provide them to the Username and Password inputs of the Cartegraph Sign In activity
- IMPORTANT: passwords should never be hard coded into workflows. These values should be acquired by the workflow at runtime from the end user or from another secure system.
1. Use the Cartegraph service
1. Add one of the other Cartegraph activities to the workflow. For example, Get Cartegraph Record.
1. Set the Service input of the activity to be the output of the Create Cartegraph Service activity
- Typically this would use an expression like =$cgService1.service
1. Supply any additional inputs to the activity
1. Supply the result output of the activity to the inputs of other activities in the workflow
1. Run the workflow
This project was bootstrapped with the VertiGIS Studio Workflow SDK. Before you can use your activity pack in the VertiGIS Studio Workflow Designer, you will need to register the activity pack.
Inside the newly created project, you can run some built-in commands:
Interactively generate a new activity or form element.
Runs the project in development mode. Your activity pack will be available at http://localhost:5000/main.js. The HTTPS certificate of the development server is a self-signed certificate that web browsers will warn about. To work around this open https://localhost:5000/main.js in a web browser and allow the invalid certificate as an exception. For creating a locally-trusted HTTPS certificate see the Configuring a HTTPS Certificate section on the VertiGIS Studio Developer Center.
Builds the activity pack for production to the build folder. It optimizes the build for the best performance.
Your custom activity pack is now ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment in the VertiGIS Studio Developer Center for more information.
