On the Parameters tab, specify data fields, attachments, and
workflow groups (including tracker) that will be used in launching the workflow.
To specify parameters for the launch step
If necessary, select the launch step on the main workflow map.
In the list of available parameters (on the left), select a field, attachment, or workflow
group, then click the right arrow to add the item to the list of parameters for this step.
If an initiating attachment was specified for this workflow, it will appear
in the list of parameters for this step. This parameter must have Read/Write access.
NOTE If
this workflow will be launched automatically using events specified in either the Link application
(FileNet Web Services Client
or Open Client)
or workflow subscriptions (Workplace),
those data fields must be parameters for the launch step. For further information, see one
of the following topics:
Under Prompt, you can optionally enter a short description
for the current parameter. In Workplace
and FileNet Web Services Client,
the prompt appears as a tool tip for the parameter on the launch processor page.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each parameter to be used in the launch step.
TIP
If a field, attachment, or workflow group you want to use is not displayed,
do one of the following:
Check the boxes above the Available Parameters
list to show the data fields, attachments, and workflow groups defined
in the Workflow Properties dialog.
If the item you need has not yet been defined,
open Workflow Properties on the Process Designer
toolbar and create the item.
TIP
As an alternative to selecting the parameters in each step, you can specify
the data fields, attachment specifications, and workflow groups for all
of the steps in the workflow using the Field usage option in the Workflow
Properties dialog. See Field usage.
TIP
You do not specify a participant for the launch step because any user
with appropriate access privileges can launch a workflow.
