To create an output argument for a task event

1. Locate the task that you want to modify.

   The type you choose identifies the source for the value of the output argument.

   For more information, see How the Type Field Affects Other Fields in the MVPW.

   Note that some properties will be disabled if they do not apply for the selected Type.
