A Data Item Editor is used to insert a data item value into a field. In general, using the Data Item Editor allows your process to use a dynamic value or a value that is potentially different each time the process is started.
To use a Data Item Editor, complete the following steps:
- In the relevant field, click the drop-down arrow. A drop-down list of available editors is displayed.
Note: |
Some activity fields default to only allow you to select a data item, so you do not have to first select the data item editor. |
- Select Data Item. The Data Item editor icon is displayed next to the drop-down arrow.
- Click the Data Item editor icon. A drop-down list is displayed, which lists your solution data items and process data items.
Note: |
Solution items only support solution data items and some activity fields only support process data items, so you will not always see both solution data items and process data items. |
- Select a data item. The selected data item is displayed in the field.
