  1. Select Source Type for the input map. Available values are:
    • Static Value: The system uses the alphanumeric text entered in the Source field.
    • Entity Field: The system uses the current record's value from a specified field in the entity to which the event handler is attached.
      • For example, if saving a new Entities record fired the Event Handler, then this  this option retrieves the specified field's value from that new record and adds it to the Context Object so it is available to the Process Flow.
         

    • SQL Statement: The system obtains a value for the input map by executing a specified SQL statement.
    • GE Object: The system obtains a value for the input map from the Generic Entity (GE) object.
      • For this option, the source is automatically set to the GE Object, and the user may not specify a value for the source.
      • This setting is suitable if a developer has created a Process Component that obtains record information from the Generic Entity interface.

        InfoIf you assigned an input property a static value within a Process Flow Step record's Input Map, any value you enter in the event handler will not override the static value specified at the step level.

         

  2. Enter a Source for the input map. The format of the value for the Source field is dependent on the Source Type selected:

    • Source Type of Static Value: Enter an alphanumeric text statement. To include field data from the entity record that fired the event within the text, surround the field name with field tags (<%field name%>).
    • Source Type of Entity Field: Enter the name of a field within the entity to which the event is linked. The Event Handler retrieves the field value from the current record that fired the event.
    • Source Type of SQL Statement: Enter a SQL statement to derive the data.
    • Source Type of GE Object: The Source field is populated automatically with the GE Object entry.
