Automatically Determining the Parent Process Data Items to Populate

You can allow the process engine to automatically determine which parent process data items to populate when a child process completes. This enables you to set parent process data item values upon completion of the sub-process.

To automatically determine the parent process data items to populate, complete the following steps:  
  1. Check out and open the process.

  2. Double-click and view the start subprocess activity properties in the process that you previously configured and now want to edit.

  3. Click the Output Mappings tab. The Output Mappings options are displayed.

  4. Select the Automatically Map Data Items check box.

    Note:
    If the Manually Map Data Items to Column Fields check box is also checked, then those mappings will override any automatic mappings the Process Engine finds.


  5. Click OK. You configured the activity to automatically set parent process data items to populate when the subprocess is complete.
