Manually Determining the Subprocess Data Items to Populate

You can manually determine the child process data items to populate when the child process starts. Manually mapping gives you greater control and flexibility over automatic mapping, because you pick the data items to map and the names of the data items do not have to match.

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

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

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

  4. Select the Manually Map Data Items check box. The fields are now enabled.

    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.


  5. In the Source Value and Destination Data Item fields, select the relevant input field editor and set the field to a value that corresponds with the data type.

  6. Click OK. You configured the activity to manually determine the child process data items to populate when the child process starts.
