Data Manipulation in a Workflow Process

A Workflow Process operates on business objects and business components. It references a single business object. In the context of these data layer objects, Siebel CRM creates or updates data while the Workflow Process runs. A Workflow Process can modify the following data:

• Business component data

• Process property data

• Siebel Common Object data

When you create a Workflow Process, a set of predefined process properties are also created. You can think of a process property as a local variable that is active while a Workflow Process instance runs. Siebel CRM can use the process property as input and output to various steps in a Workflow Process. The Process Instance Id is one example of a predefined process property.
