Adding a Sub Process Step

A sub process step is a type of Workflow Process step that allows you to start a separate Workflow Process from an existing Workflow Process. A Workflow Process can contain one or more sub process steps. You can also define a sub process step that supports Pass By Reference. For more information, see the following:

Passing a Process Property In and Out of a Workflow Process Step.
Using the Pass By Reference Feature with a Sub Process.
See the topic about the Workflow Process object type in Siebel Object Types Reference.

To add a sub process step

Make sure the Workflow Process that the sub process step calls exists.

An object definition for the Workflow Process that the sub process step calls must exist before you can add a sub process step. If it does not exist, then you must define it. For more information, see Creating a Workflow Process Object Definition.
Select the Sub Process step from the Palettes pane, then drag and drop it on the canvas.
In the Properties pane:
- In the Name property field, enter a name for the sub process step. When you navigate out of the property pane, the step name will be updated on the canvas. For more information, see Naming a Workflow Process Step or a Process Property.
- (Optional) In the Description property field, enter a value that describes the purpose of the sub process step.
- In the Subprocess Name property field, select the Workflow Process that the sub process step calls.
- Define other properties for the sub process step, as necessary.
For more information, see the topic about the Workflow Process Step object type in Siebel Object Types Reference.
In the Multi Value Property Window (MVPW) pane, define input arguments and output arguments for the selected Sub Process step.

For more information, see Defining a Step Argument in the MVPW and Adding an Input Argument on a Sub Process Step. See also Recipient Argument Fields.
