Data that a Workflow Process Can Access During Configuration

The data objects that are available for use as you design your Workflow Process originate in the Siebel Repository. Any change in the repository data is immediately available for you to use in a Workflow Process. You can use configuration data (such as a business component field or other repository information) while you create your Workflow Process. Consider the following examples:

  • Assume that a List of Values (LOV), such as Account Status, contains the values Gold, Silver, and Bronze. You can use a newly added LOV in a decision condition of your Workflow Process, while you define it.

  • If you add a new field to a business component, then this new field is immediately available in the Process Designer.

Runtime data is not available for you to use while you define a Workflow Process, such as an account name, ZIP code, or other transactional data. To use runtime data when you define a Workflow Process, you can make the data available through a process property. If necessary, you can use an unbounded drop-down list to hard code runtime data into your Workflow Process. For more information, see Using Process Properties.
