By default, each instance of a process will be named with the same title as the process. However, you can configure your process to display a different value in BPM Admin. In order to assign a unique name to each process instance, you can select a data item and the value of that data item will appear in BPM Admin's list of processes.
To name a process instance, complete the following steps:
- Open the solution and check out the process.
- From the Solution Explorer, right-click the process and select Properties. The Set Item Properties window is displayed.
- In the Runtime tab, click Data Item editor and select the desired data item.
Example: |
For instance, if you have an expense report process, you may select a calculation data item that creates an expression like the following:
Concat("Expense Report from", Solution.DataItems.ExpenseReport.Employee.JaneSmith)
The result will be Expense Report from Jane Smith, which will allow you to find Jane's expense report out of all of the expense report processes. |
- Click OK. You selected a data item and the value of that data item will appear in BPM Admin's list of processes after you publish and start the next instance of this process.
