Update Process Data (Basic) activity

Prerequisites

• AgilePoint NX OnDemand (public cloud), AgilePoint NX PrivateCloud, or AgilePoint NX OnPremises v10.0 or higher.

Good to Know

• The Update Process Data activity was frequently used in AgilePoint BPMS 5.x, which did not have many of the features for managing data and variables that now come out-of-the-box with AgilePoint NX. These include eForms, Data Entities, and many process activities that connect with third-party technologies. In older AgilePoint products, the Update Process Data activity was often used to set or change values in the process schema.

  In AgilePoint NX, the Update Process Data activity is usually used in exception cases when data values can not be set any other way. In other words, this activity is still used in many NX apps, but the best practice is to use this activity as a final option, rather than the default.

• In most text fields, you can use process data variables as an alternative to literal data values.
• This section shows the configuration settings on the configuration screens for this activity. Other configuration settings apply to system activities. For more information, refer to:
