Multi-instance type
Sub-processes can be set to repeat sequentially or in parallel when the process flow reaches them.
Called element
The process definition the call activity should start is set using the called element property.
The called element can be set in two ways:
- Static values select a process definition name from a drop-down list.
- Expression values allow an expression to be set to dynamically call a process definition based on an expression or process variable.
Mapping type
The mapping type sets how data is passed between the parent process and the process being started by the call activity. There are five options for sending this data. The default value is Send no variables.
