Process Variable and Step Forms

You use forms added to steps on the Process Designer tab in the Business Process Editor to request data that a process needs from a user. For example, you can add a form to a step to request a value for a missing attribute.

However, to present information on the Basic Views of the Process Variables tab and the Arguments tab of the Step Editor, you use process variable and step forms.

To simplify the information displayed on the Process Variables tab:

• Variables are displayed in more logical groups.

• Variables that are rarely, if ever, modified are hidden.

Changes made in the Basic View are persisted to the Advanced View and more complex configuration can be performed there if needed.

The step forms are referenced from the workflows or stepLibraries. These forms define the form that is presented on the Arguments tab of the Step Editor panel and works similar to the process variable forms.

Both of these forms are referenced from workflows using the configForm variable. The forms can be defined, viewed and edited on the IdentityIQ debug page.
