Setting Event and Task Visibility (Private and Public)

The visibility of an event or task (whether it is private or public) controls whether process information (such as required parameters) is available to an external process or application.

Setting the visibility to public results in a subset of events or steps that are then available to external processes or applications.

Note: The runtime effect of this setting is entirely destination specific.

For each event or task, you can specify a list of expected input fields (on the Interface tab), and define the URL of the document describing the purpose of the public event or task (on the Description tab).

By default, events and tasks in a process are private; in a process interface, they are public. If you want to change the visibility of an event or task:

Procedure

  1. Select the event or task.
  2. On the Interface tab, select the visibility (Private or Public).
  3. Click to add parameters to the event or task.
    Use the Mandatory checkbox to specify parameters that must be present.
  4. (Optional) Select the Description tab, then enter a URL that provides documentation describing how the event or task is used.
