Launch step - assignments

You can specify values that the Process Engine software assigns to any data field, attachment, or workflow group after the processing of the launch step completes. These assignments occur outside the processing of the next step.

To assign values to fields at the launch step

  1. If necessary, select the launch step on the main workflow map, then click the Assignments tab in the Properties pane.
  2. On the After Completion tab, click in the Name field and select a field to assign.
  3. Enter an expression to assign. The expression must evaluate to the data type of the field you selected in step 2. See the Expression builder dialog for additional information about defining expressions.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each value you want to assign.

You can also assign a milestone. See Define a milestone for more information.

To assign a milestone after the launch step

  1. On the Assignments tab, click After Completion.
  2. Select the milestone to assign.
