Defining a Step Argument in the MVPW

You can define an input argument or an output argument for a step in the Multi Value Property Window (MVPW) pane.

To define a step argument in the MVPW pane

1. In the Workflow Process Designer, click the step where you want to define an argument.

2. In the MVPW pane, click the Input Arguments tab (or Output Arguments tab as required).

3. In the MVPW pane, click the Input Arguments Menu (the cogwheel icon) and then select New Record.

4. Define the new input argument by completing the Type field and other fields as necessary.

   The value you choose in the Type field determines how you define the other fields. The following table describes how the Type field affects how you complete the other fields.

   For example, to define an input argument on a Siebel operation step, then you must define the Input Argument field.

   Type Field Options	Work You Perform
   Business Component	If you select Business Component in the Type field, then you must: Choose a business component in the Business Component Name field. Choose a business component field the Business Component Field field.
   Expression	If you select Expression in the Type field, then enter an expression in the Value field. Siebel CRM evaluates the expression you enter at runtime. You can also click the button to open the Expression Builder.
   Literal	If you select Literal in the Type field, then enter a string in the Value field. The value you enter defines the literal value for the argument.
   Process Property	If you select Process Property in the Type field, then choose a Property Name in the Property Name field. Process Property is only available for an input argument.
   Output Argument	If you select Output Argument in the Type field, then Choose a property in the Output Argument field. You can choose a process property that is of type In/Out or Out. Output Argument is only available for an output argument.
