Creating a Simple Data Item

BPM Designer allows you to create data items with simple types. Please see the Simple Data Types topic for an overview of the available simple data types.

To create a simple data item, complete the following steps:
  1. Check out the solution that you want to edit.

  2. Click the Create tab. The Solution Items ribbon menu is displayed.

  3. Click New Data Item. The Manage Solution Data Items window is displayed with a new row displayed for you to set the data item’s name, type, and description.

  4. In the Name column of the new row, type a name for the data item. The default name is changed.

    Note:
    By default, the name for the new data item will be displayed as Data Item 1 and the Data Item Type will be Simple Data.


    Note:
    The Rule Engine does not support hyphens in field names. 


  5. In the Properties tab, complete the following:
    a. In the Data Type field, select the appropriate type of data.
    b. In the Format Type field, select the appropriate data format.
    c. In the Default Value field, type a default value.
    Note:
    The Default Value field is not displayed for the Binary data type.

     
  6. Click the save button. You created a simple data item.
