Each step may produce results in the form of specific data points. If the process flow is a subprocess, 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:
- Click the Output Properties tab.
- Click the New icon to open a new record.
- Enter the Name of the output property.
- Enter a Description of the output property.
- 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.
Output -Properties Record
- Click OK to save and close the record.
- 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.
- Save the Process Flows record.
