Local Container Tab Page 

Use

On this tab page you edit the local container for a block or a local Workflow. The elements of the local container can be used by all steps in the block or the local Workflow.

All elements of the Workflow container are visible in the local container. You cannot change the definition of these elements in the local container. You can define additional elements for the local container.

All container elements of the local container are subject to the versioning of the workflow definition.

If you create a container element in the local container, it is only included into the workflow definition currently being processed.

For more information, see Creating Container Elements.

Features

Assigning Values

You can fill the elements of the local container like the elements of the Workflow container, with either an initial value or a binding.

Properties

Import and Export Indicator

To ensure that the Workflow definition is easy to follow, set the import or export indicator as follows:

·        Import indicator: for elements of the local container, which are filled by a binding from the Workflow container

·        Export indicator: for elements of the local container whose content is transferred to the Workflow container after the block or the local Workflow is completed

If the import or export indicator is not set, a warning message is displayed.

‘Mandatory' Indicator

The Mandatory indicator is for elements that must always be filled. It cannot be set for elements of the local container.

‘Multiline’ Indicator

You can define multiline container elements in the local container just like in Workflow.
