Setting Default Values

Prerequisites:

You performed the steps in Creating a Practice Process App for Data Mapping and in Creating Private Simple or Library Type Working Data.

On the Data Mapping tab of the orchestration workflow Property Editor, you can set the default value for a data element.

Note: For string type data elements, you must use escape sequences to add a new line, insert a tab, enter a carriage return, or type a literal backslash. See Using Escape Sequences for details.

Procedure Summary

Select an orchestration workflow to display it in the orchestration workflow editor.
Click the Data Mapping tab of the orchestration workflow Property Editor.
Click in the Default value column of a data element. Depending on the data type, enter a value, click the down arrow and select an option on a menu, click the down arrow and select a date from a calendar, and so on.

In this procedure, you will set the default value for PrivateSimple, which is a String data type, to Text.

To set the default value for a data element:

In App Explorer, select DataMappingOrchWF under the Orchestration Workflows heading.
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 (DataMappingOrchWF) in the Working data column. (If it is not, click a blank area in the orchestration workflow editor.)
If the data type for PrivateSimple is something other than String, right-click the PrivateSimple data element, point to Type [type], point to Private Simple, and then select the String data type.
Locate the PrivateSimple data element, click in the cell corresponding to the Default value column, enter Text, and then press the Tab key.
