Process parameters are constant values that you can modify while they are being used in a process. Process Parameter forms enable you to change a process parameter values from Documentum Administrator without having to change the original process in Process Builder.
Once you have retrieved the list of processes that meet the search criteria, you can view any process parameters that are associated with a process template. Process parameters can be used in thresholds, deadlines, escalation roles, and other values that are fixed across a process. When you change the values of the parameter, the value is updated for any new process instances or workitems. The process parameters in any currently running instances are not changed, although the values can change in any activity that occurs in the future.
If you have associated a custom form with the process parameters, the system displays the custom form with the list of process parameters that have been assigned to that template. If you have used a default form to display the parameters, the default form appears instead.
The Documentum Process Builder User Guide provides details on creating process parameters. The Documentum Forms Builder User Guide provides details on creating custom forms used to display process parameters.
To view process parameters:
Select a process name from the results list that has an associated Process Parameters form.
Click Manage Process Parameters to display the form that lists the process parameters.
The Manage Process Parameters button is only available for processes that have associated Process Parameter forms.
Edit the process parameter values by typing new values in the text box.
Click Submit to make the new parameters available to all new instances of the process.
The system only updates process parameters that are changed in Process Builder or Documentum Administrator. Any changes you make to the process parameter default values in Forms Builder are ignored.
