Configure Inputs and Outputs

Data that has been defined in the Data Dictionary is available from the Data Dictionary tab and the Process Data panel located to the left of the drawing canvas. To access the Data Dictionary View, click the Data Dictionary tab. Data types cannot be added directly to the Data Dictionary tab. Data types are created and edited in the Data Dictionary Editor. The Data Dictionary tab simply gives you a view of, and access to, the data available for your use in your process model.

For information on adding data to the Data Dictionary, see Setting Up the Data Dictionary.

Add Data to the Inputs and Outputs tab

1.   Open the Process Properties panel or select a shape (such as a user task) on the drawing canvas and open its properties panel.
2.   In the properties panel, click the Inputs and Outputs tab.
3.   In the Data Dictionary or the Process Data panel, click a data type and drag it to the Inputs and Outputs tab in the properties panel.

You can use the CTRL+click or the SHIFT+click method to select and drag multiple data types.

Note: The type of data you can add to the Inputs and Outputs tab (simple or complex) depends on the type of object selected. Some objects can accept only simple data types while others can accept simple and complex data types. For example, a user task shape can only accept simple data types.

4.   Use the Input and Output check boxes to designate the data as inputs or outputs.
