You can change the values of many of the displayed workflow
fields. For simple data types, you can edit "in place" in the results
table or update multiple cells with a single new value.
Changes made at the workflow level affect all work items
contained in the workflow, and the values currently displayed do not
necessarily represent the values of the underlying work items. To
edit array data types, use
Edit Field Values.
See the information that follows for details of these three editing
techniques.
Tip: When you change a work item and save the
changes, the changes are not displayed in the workflow roster until
you unlock the work item.
Process Administrator displays a column
for every field in each workflow or work item that it retrieves. However,
not all fields are common to every row, since each work item can contain
different user-defined data fields. Process Administrator indicates
that a field does not apply to the row by displaying dashes (--------)
in the field. You cannot edit fields containing dashes.
Important: Modifying a work item in the Delay and InstructionSheetInterpreter
system queues can have unexpected consequences. Do so only if directed
by your FileNet®support representative.
In addition, do not edit fields in the CE_Operations component queue.
