Using Data Fields and Parameters

Incoming data can populate form controls with initial values or dynamically set runtime values for certain control properties, such as the text of a control’s label, or whether it is initially visible on the form. Outgoing data are submitted when the user clicks the Submit button. These data can be used in various ways in subsequent phases of the business process, sent to an external process, or written to a persistent store.

Relationship Between User Task Parameters and Form Parameters

A user task and a form have their own separate models for the input and output parameters for the task or form. When a form is created from a user task, the form parameters are automatically set to match those in the user task.

The Synchronize Formoperation on the user task will again update the form parameters to match those in the user task if there have been any changes since the form was originally generated.
