About Process Properties

This topic provides information about process properties. It includes the following topics:

• About Process Properties and Property Sets
• About Arguments for a Workflow Process Step
• About the Multi Value Property Window
• Predefined Process Properties
• Passing a Process Property In and Out of Workflow Steps
• Passing a Property Set by Reference
• Passing a Process Property to an Error Workflow Process
• Concatenating a Process Property
• Referencing a Process Property

A process property is a container that stores values you can use in steps as input arguments, output arguments, or for performing evaluations. Process properties store values the workflow process retrieves from the database or derives before or during processing. You can base decision branches on the values in a process property and pass process properties as step arguments. When a workflow process finishes, the final result of the process properties are available as output arguments. You can also use process property values in expressions.
