The user can also be asked to set one or more variables to appropriate values. Four variable types can be assigned to manual steps: Integer, Boolean, String, and Float. This variable can be set to an explicit default value during the step definition, or the user can set the value at run-time as part of the workflow process. The value can be optional or required.
The value of the variable can be used as part of a Conditional transition to determine the path the workflow follows. It can also be used later as part of a Conditional transition from a decision step to determine the workflow path.
NOTE:If the value is going to be used later as part of a decision step, it should be marked “Required.”
For example, an integer variable can be set by the user to hold the event rate. Output transitions from the manual step can be defined so that if the event rate is greater than 500, one path is followed; otherwise, another path is followed.
