Choosing from a list of user database fields for Process Designer

You can create database fields to store the values of corresponding source fields (such as workflow fields) so that these values become searchable. In Process Designer, database fields are known as exposed fields.

Before you begin
Note: To make a database field operational, both the database field and the corresponding workflow field must exist. To create a database field, see Managing user database fields.

To select a field name:

  1. In Process Designer, select the Data Fields tab on the Workflow Properties dialog.
  2. Click Exposed Data Fields on the data fields toolbar. This list shows all exposed fields that exist for the isolated region.
  3. To add fields, select one or more items from the list on the left and click Add. If the corresponding workflow fields do not exist, they are created.

    To remove fields, select one or more items from the Selected fields list and click Remove.

    Tip: To quickly find the desired field, enter the first few letters of the field name in the small box above the list.
  4. To see where a field is currently used, select one or more fields and click Details. The Field Name Details dialog box displays the rosters, queues, and event logs where each field is defined.
  5. Click OK when done.
