Assigning Workflow Parameters to Task Input

Mapping tasks, Human tasks, and Command tasks include an

Input

tab where you specify the workflow parameters that the task requires.

On the

Input

tab of a Mapping or Command task, you can assign task configuration properties to task input to define the value of the property in a workflow parameter. The

Advanced

tab for a task lists the task configuration properties.

On the

Input

tab of a Mapping task, you can also assign some user-defined mapping parameters to workflow parameters. You can assign a distinct value to a user-defined mapping parameter that appears multiple times in the workflow.

Workflow parameter types must be either a connection type or a string type.

Select a Mapping, Command, or Human task in the editor.

Click the

Properties

view.

For a Mapping task or a Command task, click the

Advanced

tab to assign an advanced configuration property to the task input.

In the

Value

column for a property, select

Assigned to task input

Click the

Input

tab.

At the top of the

Input

tab, search for the property that you want to update.

You can use wildcard characters in the search string. The string is not case sensitive.

Click the

Value

column for the property.

In the

Value

column, choose to assign the property to an existing workflow parameter, to a new workflow parameter, or to a literal value.

Select an existing workflow parameter name.

Create a workflow parameter. Click

New Parameter

. In the

Add Parameter

dialog box, enter the name, type, and default value for a workflow parameter. The Developer tool creates the workflow parameter and assigns the parameter to the property.

Click

New Value

. In the

Add Value

dialog box, enter the literal value and data type to assign to the property.

To clear an input assignment, select an input and click

Clear

. Or, click

Clear All

to clear all input assignments.
