3.2.3 Settings in step definition information

Step

ID

A value that uniquely identifies the step. As the step ID, specify a value that is unique within the flow (not including the hierarchy flow). By default, this field displays the plug-in ID.

If there is more than one step with the same step ID in a given flow, _n is appended to the end of the step ID (where n is a unique integer starting from 2), which is displayed in the format step-ID_n. Note that if step-ID_n is longer than 30 characters, the excess characters are truncated at the end of the step ID, and the shortened step ID is displayed with the _n suffix.

Name

The value you specify in this field appears with the icon for the step in the Flow view, and as the name of the step in the Steps view. For the top-level flow, the step ID also appears in the Task Details dialog box. The default is the plug-in name. More than one step can have the same name within a given flow.

If there is more than one step with the same name, _n is appended to the end of the step name (where n is a unique integer starting from 2), which is displayed in the format step-name_n. Note that if step-name_n is longer than 64 characters, the excess characters are truncated at the end of the step name, and the shortened step name is displayed with the _n suffix.

Description

For a top-level flow, the description you specify in this field is displayed as the description of the step in the Task Details dialog box. This field is blank by default.

Plug-in

Displays information about the plug-in.

As the plug-in version, the version of the plug-in dragged and dropped from the Plug-in view is displayed. You cannot change this information when editing a step.

Subsequent Step Conditions

Set whether to execute the subsequent step according to the return value of the plug-in executed by the current step.

Input properties

When you set a service property, its value is assigned as an input property of the plug-in. You can also enter a value directly.

Output properties

You can set a service property whose value is updated by the plug-in using an output property.
