WorkflowCommon Properties
You can configure the following common properties for each step contained within a workflow: name, description, and the enabled feature.
The steps in a workflow where you can configure these properties include: load, preprocess, presubprocess, subprocess, postsubprocess, postprocess, and unload. Setting these attributes allows you to identify an activity or a subprocess within a workflow, as well as decide whether or not to include the step in the workflow instance.
The activity and subprocess attributes consist of the following options:
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | User-defined | Enter a logical name that you want to assign to
the subprocess or activity you are editing.
Generally, the name of the subprocess relates to
its purpose. For subprocesses, this name becomes the name of the step in the Task List. |
| Description | User-defined | Enter additional information related to a
subprocess or activity. This may include
instructions or detailed information on the
purpose of these steps. Note: The description is
not displayed in the Task List. |
| Enabled | System-defined | Select this check box to include the activity in a
workflow. Note: You can only select this option
within a subprocess or activity. |
