Adding Component Process Properties

A component process property is a way to add user-supplied information to a component process that is specific to that process. A running process can prompt users for information and then incorporate it into the process.

To define a component process property:

  1. On the Properties tab, click the Add Property button.
  2. In the Add Property dialog, enter a name in the Name field.
  3. Optional. Enter a description in the Description field.
  4. Enter a label in the Label field.

    The label will be associated with the property in the user interface.

  5. If the property is required, select the Required check box.

    The default value is deselected, not required.

  6. Specify the type of expected value with the Type drop-down list box.

    Supported types are: text, text area, check box, select, multi select, and secure. Default type is text.

  7. In the Default Value field, enter a default value (if any).
  8. To save your work, click the Save button. To discard changes, use the Cancel button.

To use a property in a process, reference it when you configure a step that uses it.
