Mapping
For each activity in the process there is an appropriate input. For example, the Send Mail
activity needs input that includes information about the customer and the Order ID. At times, the output of one activity directly maps into the input of the next activity in the process. Very often, however, an activity requires a subset, or a superset of the incoming process data, or data may need to be modified.
To give each activity the appropriate input, ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks lets you map the process data to the input of the activity. For example, the Send Mail
activity uses the customer email address and the Order ID but ignores the shipping address which is also part of the order.
