Embedding and Embedded Field Relationships

When you publish an embedding guide or process, the embedded object appears within the embedding object, as shown below.

An embedded guide, like all guides, has a set of outcomes. When you embed a guide, the outcomes from that guide become different branches of the embedding guide. This means that the embedded guide's outcomes are treated as if they were the answers from the previous step. More precisely said, the Guide Designer creates a branch for each of the embedded guide's outcomes.

For example, suppose the embedded guide has three outcomes: "Yes", "No", and "Maybe". After you embed the guide, the designer adds three branches to the embedding guide, one for each outcome:

Many guides receive data from the embedding process and return results, so be sure to define the required fields. Embedding and field relationships

Notice the relationship of field information in these two dialogs.

After one process or guide is embedded in the other, the fields within the embedded object are available in the embedding object.

However, these fields only become available in the steps following the embedded step.

Multiple Embedding Guides

Suppose you have three guides whose names are guide 1, guide 2, and guide 3. Also, guide 1 embeds guide 2 and guide 2 embeds guide 3. In this case, guide 1 does not see the fields in guide 3. If you need to access these fields, add output fields to guide 1 that have the same name as the fields in guide 3.
