Edit Data Associations
Use to define data associations between data objects and the flow object implementations, or between data objects and process arguments.
Data associations allow you to assign values to the arguments required by the flow objects implementation. You can directly assign the value of the data object or write an expression that calculates a value based on one or more data objects.
Automapping button
Click to automatically assign the edited assignments the value of those data objects that match their names.
Custom Assignments Button
Click to add a custom assignment to the flow object you are editing.
Inputs section
Contains text boxes that display the data objects assigned as inputs to the service or process implemented in the flow object. Next to each text box is an icon that launches the expression editor.
Flow Object Interface section
Lists the expected input arguments for the service or process implemented. The flow object interface also contains an expandable list of the data objects supplied as input and output. Within the flow object area, you can expand complex data objects to map to specific basic data objects within a complex data object.
Outputs section
Contains text boxes that display the data objects assigned as outputs from the service or process implemented in the flow object.
