Specifying the map inputs for update activity

The input parameters for update activity are either UniversalID or NotesID and all the business data fields (specific to the selected form) needs to be updated.
  1. Click Map Input from the Checklist pane.
    The input parameters for the specific Domino activity are displayed under the To Activity pane. The input parameters are defined in the following table.
    Parameter Name Description
    UniversalID A UniversalID of a document is a read-write property that uniquely identifies a document across all replicas of a database. In character format, a UniversalID is a 32-character combination of hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F). A UniversalID is also known as the unique ID or UNID. The datatype is string.
    NotesID A NoteID of a document is a read only property and has a hexadecimal value of up to 8 characters, which uniquely identifies a document within a particular database. A NoteID represents the location of a document within a specific database file. So the documents that are replicas of one another generally have different note IDs. A NoteID does not change, unless the document is deleted.
    Note: You must map the input parameters of the activity.
