Defining Input Arguments for Subprocess Steps

Input arguments allow you to populate process properties in the subprocess. For example, if you want to pass the object ID from the main process to the subprocess, you would do this through input arguments. If the subprocess is based on a different business object, you must pass the relevant row ID of the target object as the subprocess Object ID Process Property.
