Creating a process input

After you publish a process, you can create a process input and use it to run a process for testing purposes. You can also create multiple process inputs and run a process with all the inputs.

You can create a process input in the JSON or XML format. Then, validate and save the process input.

When you export, copy, or move a process that contains process inputs, the process inputs are also retained.
