Viewing GP Content
Use
You can search the design time (gallery) for all types of active and deprecated GP objects and view their attributes. You can examine the interaction between process blocks and check the mappings of input, output and local contexts. Thus, you can detect any possible problems in parameter consolidation and locate them accurately in the data flow of the process.
Procedure
To search for GP objects, open the GP Content tab page.
Finding Objects
Define your search based on the following parameters:
- Folder (Folder)
- Object type (Type)
- Object status (Status)
When you search for deprecated objects, the system displays only those deprecated objects that are still in use.
Viewing Object Attributes
To view the attributes of an object, select the respective object in the result list. The system displays an object overview below the result list. The following table shows you the available attributes for each object type.
Object Types and their Attributes
| Attribute | Object type | Remark |
|---|---|---|
|
Basic Data |
All object types |
Contains object title and object description |
|
Permissions |
All object types |
You can see the permissions granted for each object. For more information, see Granting Permissions . |
|
Attachments |
Action Block Process |
Files, URL and user can be assigned to objects in the design time and runtime. For more information, see Attachments . |
|
Due Date |
Action Process |
You can view the following:

|
Roles |
Block Process |
You can see the block roles as well as the users and tasks assigned to each role. For more information, see Process Roles . |
|
Exceptions |
Block Process |
You can see what, if any, exceptions occurred during the process flow. For more information, see Configuring Exception Handling |

Checking the Flow of Objects
The GP Monitor gives you a read-only reference of a process and the flow between its items. To view the flow between object items, choose Open Flow and select an object in the result list. The system displays an object overview below the result list. The following table shows you the parameters for each object type.
Object Types and Parameters
| Property | Object type | Remark |
|---|---|---|
|
Input Type |
All object types |
Contains the input context of the object. |
|
Output Type |
All object types |
Contains the output context of the object. |
|
Local Type |
Action Block Process |
Contains the local context of an object. |
|
Parent Input Mapping |
Callable Object Action Block |
Contains the mapping between the parent input source and target location. |
|
Parent Output Mapping |
Callable Object Action Block |
Contains the mapping between the parent output source and target location. |
|
Input to Local Mapping |
Action Block Process |
To view the consolidation between input parameters of callable objects and their mapping to the local context within an action, choose Show Trivial Mappings. |
|
Local to Output Mapping |
Action Block Process |
To view the mapping between the local context and the consolidated output parameters of callable objects within an action, choose Show Trivial Mappings. |
|
Result States |
Action |
Contains the result states of an action that requires specific outcome, for example approval notification. |
