Entering XPath Variables in Design View

When you enter XPath expressions directly into the graphical Design view of the Task Definition Editor, you begin the expression with an equals sign (=) to let the editor know that the value is a variable and not a literal value. The equals sign is not part of the generated XPath in the source code.

For example, the variables in the figure below translate into the following source code in the task definition file:

• Title

  <title>concat($TaskInput.order/po:purchaserName, concat(' Purchase Order for ', $TaskInput.order/po:productId))</title>

• Priority

  <priority>$TaskInput.order/po:priority</priority>

• Group

  <group>$TaskInput.order/po:users</group>
