Create a folder variable

  1. On the Modeling bar, click Variables.

    The Variables page appears.

  2. Enter a Name and ID for the variable.
  3. On the Type list, select Folder.
  4. Consume a folder type in the Value box.

    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.

  5. Click Yes to use the variable as Process 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.
  6. Click Add Add.
