You Can concept

During design time, ad hoc items can be assigned to all actions but not to blocks or processes. Each ad hoc item creates an instance of itself every time it is executed and thus acts like an action. The input parameters of these items can be assigned to the input parameters of those actions to which they refer.

You can also assign info callable objects to any activity in the design time. Objects’ input parameters can be assigned to context parameters. Info callable objects are not activities. They do not have a workflow status and can therefore be executed as many times as you wish. You can manually set the status to read.

In the runtime, ad hoc items and info callable objects are displayed in the component You Can of the contextual navigation panel.
