Creating an Input Argument for a Task Step

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

To create an input argument for a task step

1. Open the Task Editor (see Opening the Task Editor) for the task you want to modify.

2. In the Task Editor, select the step where you want to create an input argument.

3. In the Multi Value Property Window (MVPW) pane, click the Input Arguments tab.

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

4. Create a new record:

   • In the Input Argument field, select an input argument. This value is the destination of the input argument. For a Siebel operation step, select the Field Name.

   • In the Type field, select a type.

5. Define the remaining fields for the input argument according to the type you defined in the previous step.

   For more information, see How the Type Field Affects Other Fields in the MVPW. Some fields are not available. For more information, see Business Component Fields That a Task Can Modify.
