Assigning Workflow Parameters to Task Input

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.
  1. Select a Mapping, Command, or Human task in the editor.
  2. Click the
    Properties
    view.
  3. 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
    .
  4. Click the
    Input
    tab.
  5. 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.
  6. Click the
    Value
    column for the property.
  7. 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.
  8. To clear an input assignment, select an input and click
    Clear
    . Or, click
    Clear All
    to clear all input assignments.
