You can add parameters to operations directly in the Activity Editor.

Tip

Alternatively, you can add parameters via the Service Panel.


When you hover over a custom operation, icons for creating an input parameter () and for creating an output parameter () appear above the element.

Click on the corresponding icon of the parameter direction you want to create.

An object flow is automatically dragged out. Connect the object flow to an element that defines the parameter type.

Compatible elements are

  • local variables
  • pins
  • parameters

Click on a connection point or pin of the selected element. The parameter is created and the corresponding object flow is connected.

Info

You can also start the object flow by clicking on a connection point or pin of an element you want to use as a parameter template. Drag it to the corresponding icon of the parameter direction you want to create and click it.



The newly created parameter automatically gets the same name and type as the element it is connected to. They are displayed when hovering over the parameter pin.

The new parameter is also visible below the related operation in your data model.

If you want to create more than one input or output parameter, note that the newly created parameters of the same direction are each placed in the same position so that they overlap.

This leads to the problem that the names of the individual parameters can no longer be read properly and their parameter pins can no longer be distinguished.

To avoid this, before creating more parameters, you can either move the pin of the first created parameter...

...or you can resize the activity node.

Tip

This is the recommended option if you want to create more than two parameters of the same direction.

Note

The parameter will be deleted without further confirmation.


The parameter is deleted from the operation.
