Defining Process Flow Output Properties

Each step may produce results in the form of specific data points. If the process flow is a sub-process, it can store this data within the Context Object for use by a later step in the process flow or it can write the data to an external log. You should define only data returned by the process flow (which may act as a sub-process based step in another process flow) on the Output Properties tab.

Follow these steps to define Output Properties for a process flow:

1. Click the Output Properties tab.
2. Click the New icon to open a new record.
3. Enter the Name of the output property.
4. Enter a Description of the output property.
   
   
5. Select the property's data type from the Type list.
   • The Type options are String, Integer, Long, Currency, Decimal, Date/Time, Boolean, and Object.
   • Typically, an output property corresponds to a Field value from an entity so the Type should match the Field's SQL Data Type as defined in the entity.
     
     
     
     
6. Click OK to save and close the record.
   
   
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 to define additional output properties.
   • Alternatively, you can click OK and New in Step 6 to save the current record and open a new Output Properties record in one step.
     
     
8. Save the Process Flows record.
