Create a folder variable

  1. On the Type list, select Folder. (Default: String)
  2. Optional. To use the variable for process initialization, select Initialization.
    Important For a scan-enabled process map, you can set the variable for process initialization only when it has the root folder as its value. However, for a normal process map, the variable value can be a root folder or sub-folder.
  3. On the Value list, select a folder type.

    This is an XML document that contains a reference to the folder type. For example a "Customer Invoice" folder type variable can have a folder type of "Invoice"; at runtime it will contain the instance ID of the actual folder.

  4. Click OK.
  5. Click Save.
