Adding iProcess System Fields to a Form

Business processes in the iProcess runtime environment have implicit system data fields. These system fields can be used as form parameters and are associated with controls on the form.

To add a system field to a form, follow these steps:

1.	Open the form in the Form Designer window.

2.	In the Outline View for the form (viewed in the hierarchical tree mode), right-click Data and click New Parameter.

3.	In the New Parameter dialog, enter the name of the implicit data field.

Enter the name of the implicit data field exactly as specified in the Complex Data.

4.	Enter the data type and length of the field. If unsure of these values, consult the iProcess documentation.

5.	Click Finish.

6.	The form parameter is now available and can be associated with a control on the form, for instance as the incoming value of label control or text field.

See TIBCO iProcess System Fields for a list of iProcess system fields supported by TIBCO Business Studio Forms.

Complex Data

The classes defined in the business object model (BOM) are represented in the runtime JavaScript API. Parameters can be defined as external types to classes defined in a BOM, either in the same project as the form or in dependent projects. Each attribute defined in a class results in the corresponding get[AttributeName]() and set[AttributeName](value) methods. For example, a BOM class Customer that had a firstName attribute generates a Customer class with the following methods:

String getFirstName();

void setFirstName(String firstName);
