Business parameters are placeholders for global values used by processes in an organization.
Business parameters can be created automatically when they are imported with a project file from Studio, or they can be created in Process Administrator and then mapped to abstract project business parameters during project publication. Business parameters can be uniquely defined for individual organizational units.
The variable and business parameter mapping from Studio to Process Administrator is as follows:
| Studio | Process Administrator |
|---|---|
| Business Parameter | Business Parameter |
| External Variable | Variable |
| Business Variable | Variable with Business Variable checkbox selected |
| Instance Variable | No equivalent in Process Administrator since it is process specific. It is included in the project file on import and does not need to be configured. |
