The output fields available for a guide are those contained in the object(s) to which the guide applies. This is specified in the

Applies To

property on the

Start

tab.

The output field values are set when the guide executes and are then available in the steps that follow. Define output fields only for use in an embedded guide. These output fields do not appear in lists until the values are returned from an embedded guide.

The following table describes the name and type for the output field category for use in a guide:
