Creating Private Complex Working Data

Prerequisites:

You performed the steps in Creating a Practice Process App for Data Mapping.

On the Data Mapping tab of the orchestration workflow Property Editor, you can create private complex data to use in orchestrations.

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. To add a new data element, right-click the WorkingData step input, select Add New, and then select Complex Type.
  4. Rename the new data element, if you want.
  5. To add a child data element, right-click the new data element again, select Add Child, and then select a type.
  6. Rename the new child data element, if you want.
  7. Repeat the previous two steps to add more child data elements.

In the following exercise, you will create a private complex working data element named "PrivateComplex" that contains three child data elements (Child1, Child2, and Child3).

To create a private complex working data element:

  1. Under Orchestration Workflows, select DataMappingOrchWF.
  2. In the orchestration workflow Property Editor, click the Data Mapping tab.

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

  3. Right-click the WorkingData step input, select Add New, and then select Complex Type.

    ComplexType appears under the WorkingData step input.

  4. Change the name of the new data element (ComplexType) to PrivateComplex.
  5. Right-click PrivateComplex, select Add Child, and then select a type. A new child data element is added under PrivateComplex.
  6. Change the name of the new child data element to Child1.
  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 two more times, naming the new child data elements Child2 and Child3.
