Select base workflow

See About workflow inheritance for general information about inheriting maps and other properties from a base workflow.

Specify a base workflow for the current workflow definition

To create a workflow definition that inherits maps and other items defined in another workflow definition, you select a previously defined workflow definition as the base workflow.

  1. If necessary, from the Action menu, select Workflow Properties, and display the General tab.

    In Base Workflow, click Modify.

  2. In the Select Base Workflow dialog box, select the workflow definition that contains the submaps and other items that will be the base for the current workflow.

    TIP The list contains only workflow definitions that have been transferred to Process Engine in this isolated region.

Note that the main map of the base workflow definition is overwritten by the main map of the current workflow definition. Submaps that are present in the base workflow definition are read only in the current workflow definition.
