Temporary Field Properties

The temporary fields available for a process are those contained in the object(s) to which the process applies. This is specified in the Applies To property (on the

Start

tab).

The temporary field values will be used in all of the current process's steps. However, a temporary field's value is not available to an embedded process. You define a name and type for the temporary field category for use in a process:
