<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Hi Vladimir, yes we are improving the UI of the designer to make it more user-friendly, especially for user inputs such as process variables and data input/output associations.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Currently, to define process variables, in the BPMN-Diagram properties section you can defined them in the Variable Definitions input field with the following pattern: </p><p><process_var_name>:<process_var_type></p><p>so for example you could have:</p><p>x:String,y:Date,z</p><p>If you do not specify a type, it will default to Object type.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>For user tasks, you have couple of property fields to look at:</p><p>DataInputSet: comma-separated definition of data inputs of the task, for example: a,b</p><p>DataOutputSet: comma-separated definition of data outputs of the task, for example: j,k</p><p>Assignments: define the input/output assignments and associations here, for example if you define process variables x,y and let's say usertask data input a and b, and task data output c you could have:</p><p>x->a,b=Hello,c->y</p><p>in which case process var x will be mapped to the data input a, b will be assigned to string Hello, and output c will be mapped to proces var y.</p><p>You can also do bi-directional associations, for example:</p><p>x<->a</p><p>where x is mapped to a and then a is mapped back out to the process variable x.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Hope this helps.</p></div>
