Creating an Output Argument on a Task Step

An output argument allows you to configure Siebel CRM to store the value that results from processing one of the following step types:

• Business service step
• Siebel operation step
• Task view step
• End step

Siebel CRM stores this value in a task property. It can then pass this value to another object, such as the input argument of a subsequent task step.

To create an output 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 output argument.
3. In the Multi Value Property Window, click the Output Arguments tab.
4. Right-click in the list area of the Multi Value Property Window, and then choose New Record.
5. In the Property Name field, choose a property name.

   This is the name of the task property that stores the value of the output argument.

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