Creating an Input Argument on a Task Step

An input argument allows you to configure Siebel CRM to pass data to some types of steps in a task UI at run time.

To create an input argument on a task step

1. Open the Task Editor for the task UI you must modify.

   For more information, Opening the Task Editor.

2. In the Task Editor, choose the step where you must create an input argument.
3. In the Multi Value Property Window, click the Input Arguments tab.

   For a Siebel operation step, you use the Fields tab rather than the Input Arguments tab.

4. Right-click in the list area of the Multi Value Property Window, and then choose New Record.
5. In the Input Argument field, choose an input argument.

   This value is the destination of the input argument. For a Siebel operation step, choose the Field Name.

6. In the Type field, choose a type.
7. Define remaining fields for the input argument, according to the type you defined in Step 6.

   For more information, see How the Type Field Affects Other Fields in the Multi Value Property Window.

   Some fields are not available. For more information, see Business Component Fields That a Task UI Can Modify.
