Adding an Existing Data Structure Definition to a Task

To add data structure definitions that you have previously created:

1. Right-click inside the Task editor Task Data tab.

   See "Task Editor Task Data Tab" for more information about the fields on this tab. When modeling data for activation tasks, navigate to the Task Request Data tab and right-click in the Task Data area.

2. Select Select Data Structure Definition.

   A dialog box is displayed, enabling you to select data structure definitions.

   Note:

   If no data structure definitions are displayed in the Matching items area, you must define the dependency of the data structure definition to the model project before you add it to the task data. For more information, see "Managing Project Dependencies".

3. Select the data structure definitions that you want to add to the task.

   Tip:

   When selecting data structure definitions to add to the task:

   • Press and hold the Shift key to select multiple consecutive elements. Or, press and hold the Control key to select multiple non-consecutive elements.

   • Select a parent node to add all data elements (simple and structured data elements) in its hierarchy.

   • Select a child node to add only the child node and its parent nodes. Design Studio automatically adds parent nodes associated to the child node up to the root of the data schema.

4. Click OK.

   Design Studio adds the data structure definition, and all its child data elements and structures, to the Task editor Task Data area.

   Note:

   Derived data structure definitions are not displayed in the Task Data area.

5. Click Save.
