Define Input and Output Parameters

As for other skills that can be used to build a process, you can define input and output parameters to bind to the components of a user task.

Three predefined output parameters are available by default to bind to components in a user task:

  • decision: string parameter defining the decision made (approve or reject)

  • processor: string parameter defining the person making the decision

  • status: string parameter defining the status of the execution

You can't modify these predefined output parameters, but you can create additional output parameters.
To create input and output parameters for the user task:

  1. Go to the User task information panel and click the I/O tab.

  2. Choose Add new input parameter or Add new output parameter.

  3. Enter a name and a description.

  4. Select the type of parameter: string, number, boolean or an existing data type.

  5. Save your changes.
