    This workflow process step provides data that the Workflow Utility business service uses to display field values for the business component record that Siebel CRM is currently processing. Siebel Tools displays these values in the Watch window before it updates them.

    Depending on your testing requirements, you can display more descriptive record data, such as data from the Abstract field. To display other record data, you can define another field, similar as you did with the fields described in Step 6. In the workflow process, you define a process property that references this field, and then add an Output Argument on the Workflow Utility business service that references the new process property.
