<p>The StringConstant actor outputs a string specified via the actor's value parameter.</p>
<p>Specifying strings with the StringConstant actor is convenient, as the actor does not require that strings be surrounded by quotes. The actor is often used to specify file paths, which can be selected using the Browse button available in the actor's parameters.</p>
<p>Specified string values can include references to parameters within scope (i.e., parameters defined at the same level of the hierarchy or higher). </p>
<p>NOTE: If using a PN Director, the 'firingCountLimit' parameter is often set to a finite integer (e.g. '1') so that the workflow will terminate. </p>
An output port that broadcasts a string constant specified by the value parameter.
A multiport that has no declared type (in other words, the port can accept any data type: double, int, array, etc.) If the port is connected, the actor will not fire until the trigger port receives an input token. Connecting the port is optional, but useful when scheduling the actor to perform at a certain time.
The limit on the number of times the actor will fire. The default value is 'NONE', meaning there is no limit on the number of time the constant will be provided to the output port. Any integer can be provided as a value for this parameter.
The value produced by the actor. Specified strings do not require enclosing quotes. (To include a '$' sign in the string, enter '$$'.)
