    1. Set the Test Case # field to 1.

  5. In the multivalue applet that appears, click New, and then set the field values as shown in the following table.

    Field Value

    Property Name

    Value

    <Type in the name of the Workflow Process>

  6. Click Save.

  7. Repeat step 5 and 6 as necessary for other parameters, including RowId, that Siebel CRM passes to the Workflow Process.

  8. In the multivalue applet, click OK.
