Mapping Process Data to Work Item Attributes

You can map process data to work item attributes to allow automatic work item attribute assignment on all user tasks which implicitly or explicitly reference the mapped process data. This can be done to avoid the use of scripts to achieve the same result.

Procedure

  1. On the Work Resource tab of the Business Process, expand Work Item Attribute Mappings.
    The left column shows all data fields defined for the process. The right column lists the 40 work item attributes available, with those with defined display labels at the top of the list. When there is no Work List Facade file in the Workspace scope, the Work Item Attributes are sorted by the numeric values in their name. See Seting the Display Label for Work Item Attributes
  2. Map a data field to an attribute.
    For example, Field could be mapped to the Name attribute. Do this for all data fields you would like to map to attributes.

    Each user task in the process, with the mapped process data associated, contains the script equivalent to the mappings defined here.
    Note: If you use the Work Manager script from the Scripts tab for a user task, you will only be able to use the physical attribute names (attribute1, attribute 2, etc) which appear in content assist and not the display names.
