If you have read access to work types and access to the category in which a work type resides, you can associate a work type with a process map, a case map, or a case fragment map.

Associating a work type with a map creates process variables for each field in the work type.

Once you associate a case map with a work type, all fields in the work type are available as case variables for the map.

Case fragments do not have their own work types; they inherit work types from the case. If you select the Scope option for a work type field, the field becomes available as a case variable for all case fragments in an associated case. At runtime, these variables retain the values defined for each case fragment.
