Data Fields
Process Data Fields
A key aspect of every process is the channeling, updating and transformation of information. Process data fields and activity data fields facilitate the collection, communication and management of the required information
Activity Data Fields
Activity data fields play an important role in collecting, presenting or channeling the necessary information for completing a task done or making a specific decision.
It is possible to predict exactly what the default value of a data field is by setting the Initial Value making it easier to interpret the data using rules later.
Specifying Metadata can increase the usefulness of the data by providing context information to the data. From a technical perspective this may include its relation to other data fields or its structure. From a business perspective it may be useful to track the source of the data or highlight its relationship to a particular decision.

Before adding process data or activity level data fields understand what data or information is being collected, accessed or viewed through the execution of the process |
