BPM5 Documentation - Automatically Determining the Subprocess Data Items to Populate when the Subprocess Starts

You can allow the process engine to automatically determine which subprocess data items to populate when the subprocess starts by using the automatic mapping option. This enables setting child process data item values at process initiation.

To have the Process Engine automatically determine which subprocess data items to populate, complete the following steps:

Check out and open the process.
Double-click and view the start child process activity properties in the process that you previously configured and now want to edit.
Click the Input Mappings tab. The input mappings options are displayed.

Select the Automatically Map Data Items check box.

Note:

You do not need to map solution data items between processes, because solution data items are available to all processes in the solution. Automatic mapping will try to map solution and process data items to matching process data items in the child process.

Click OK. You configured the activity to automatically determine which sub-process data items to populate based on any data item names that match in the parent process.
