Viewing and Editing Data Element Properties

Prerequisites:

You performed the steps in Creating a Practice Process App for Data Mapping and in Setting Source Values Using Suggested Mappings.

On the Data Mapping tab of the orchestration workflow Property Editor, you can view and edit property information for a data element. This is useful if you need to view the data types of data elements, or if you need to view or edit other properties, such as the namespace, for a particular data element.

Procedure Summary

  1. Select an orchestration workflow to display it in the orchestration workflow editor.
  2. Click the Data Mapping tab of the orchestration workflow Property Editor.
  3. Right-click the Working data or Source elements column for working data, or the Step inputs or Source elements column for source data, and then select Properties Mode.
  4. View or edit the properties for the selected working data, or view the data elements for a Service step in the properties area that opens on the right side of the orchestration workflow Property Editor.
  5. To exit properties mode, right-click the Working data, Step inputs, or Type column, and then select Mapping Mode.
    Tip: You can also switch between mapping mode and properties mode by clicking the vertical divider on the right side of the orchestration workflow Property Editor.

In the following exercise, you will view the properties of the PrivateSimple working data element.

To view property information for a data element:

  1. In App Explorer, select DataMappingOrchWF under the Orchestration Workflows heading.
  2. In the orchestration workflow Property Editor, click the Data Mapping tab.

    The Working Data step input should be visible under the name of the orchestration workflow (DataMappingOrchWF) in the Working data column. (If it is not, click a blank area in the orchestration workflow editor.)

  3. Locate the SuggestedMapping data element, right-click the corresponding cell in the Source elements column, and then select Properties Mode.
    You can view the properties of working data elements and change any editable values in the property area that opens on the right side of the orchestration workflow Property Editor.
    Note: You can only view the properties of a Service step.
  4. To exit properties mode, right-click the SuggestedMapping data element, and then select Mapping Mode.
    Tip: You can also switch between mapping mode and properties mode by clicking the vertical divider on the right side of the orchestration workflow Property Editor.
