Save repeaters

The Save repeaters activity allows you to save values from multiple repeaters to the repeater database so they can later be loaded and used in a future masking.

Usage

To use the Save repeaters activity, place it in your workflow. For the RepeaterIds, add an IEnumerable collection of repeaters ID's you want to save to the repeater database. If you are using repeater persistence on the fly, this activity is not needed and will automatically be skipped.

Example

Let's assume that we are masking first and last names in the Customer table. We know we will need to mask the same table in the future so we want to save the repeaters at the end of the masking for future use. First we need to make sure our masking uses repeaters. Then we need to place the Save repeaters activity after the Customer masking activity, and set the RepeaterIds property as new List<string>() { "FirstNameRepeater", "LastNameRepeater" } to save both repeaters.
