Configure properties / Data manager

A business process is primarily implemented by selecting elements and configuring them through the properties panel. You can access the properties panel by selecting the wrench icon in the upper right-hand corner.

The Properties panel has several sections for configurations depending on the element.

Next to the Properties tab, that you use for configuration, you can find the XML tab, used primarily for support purposes.

The XML tab displays the raw BPMN 2.0 XML for the selected process. It allows advanced users to inspect the underlying structure, copy specific elements for reuse in other diagrams, or share them for support purposes. While the tab includes an Apply changes button for editing, most users will never need to modify the XML directly. Copying and pasting between diagrams is currently only possible via this view, but we recommend using it cautiously and only when necessary.

If you want to know the supported elements in the BMPN XML, check out BPMN Specification - Business Process Model and Notation.

General

  • Name - the label you see on the canvas
  • ID - the system generated unique ID. This is the value used to reference the element in other properties and expressions
  • Description - additional details for the element

Implementation

Type specific details for the selected element, such as Start and wait for automation or Start and wait for agent for a Service Task element.

Inputs

Inputs for the selected element may include required fields.

Outputs

Outputs for the selected element. These outputs will be available as variables, and you can use them within expressions in other elements.

Note:

Configuring Start event inputs and End event outputs enables you to populate input arguments when initiating the process from the Orchestrator interface or API. This also allows you to return output to any aforementioned sources.
