Dictionaries

Data source created automatically using the Dictionary process, which returns all dictionary elements.
The source structure contains the form fields defined in the Dictionary process and is updated after each change of the process configuration.

Dictionaries

1. Basic parameters

Parameters that help to identify the data source (dictionary), such as ID, Name and Description.

2. Superior source

Each data source can contain subsources which are related to a Business entity within the system. If a Superior source is referenced from a workflow instance that belongs to a specific Business entity, and that Business entity has a subsource associated with it, the query will reference this subsource instead. If a Superior source has been defined for the source, you need to enter the name of the Business entity for which it is defined.

3. Business entity

The business entity to which data source belongs. If source has a defined Business entity, it is also necessary to specify the Superior source.

4. Data source type

Type of the data source. Specifies the location from which the data are loaded.
The default source type is Dictionaries and it is not possible to change it.

5. Access to data in the context of the system account

If this box is checked, all users will have full access to the data contained in the source (dictionary).

6. Test

This button executes a data source test. A query is then executed and test results are returned. In case of failure, the system displays an error message.
