Required fields and Output results for the Business Process Document

The Business Process Document includes property tables for Required fields and Output results. These property tables are blank and do not contain prepopulated field names. They can be used to enter custom field names and comments.

When creating entries for either the Required Fields or Output property, you can add more rows to the table, delete rows, and move rows up and down to rearrange the order. The text in the first cell of the table appears in the Properties toolpane when you select a document that contains text for either property.

If a multiple topic selection contains existing table text, the table dialog box displays the common table rows that appear in ALL of the selected topics. The common table row can appear in different row positions in the selected topics as long as the text in the row is identical. If the selected topics contain no common table rows, the table appears blank. The changes made to a table for a multiple topic selection affect all of the selected topics, and overwrite any existing values. Therefore, the table rows that do not appear in a multiple selection because they are not common to the entire selection are deleted.

1. Display the Properties toolpane.
