• Repeat:
  • When checked - enables to run the service for every item in a selected array
  • When not checked - the service will run only once
• Description

Set Inputs/Outputs

(See Figure 3 to Figure 6)

Clicking the Set Inputs/Outputs button displays the Service Settings window. The window includes two sections:

• Inputs - this section defines the data that the integration needs to function by mapping the data of this workflow to the integration inputs below
• Outputs (optional) - this section defines if data that the integration generates and passes back to your workflow needs to be stored in the process model.

Figure 3: Service Settings Window

Inputs and Outputs will appear as they were defined in the selected service. If the service does not include inputs or outputs, indication messages will appear, for example:

For Inputs, a source can be:

• Unset
• Process Data (and the value would be a Model data item or metadata item)
• Constant - static value

For Outputs, if you store value in a Model, the selected Model data item or metadata item must match with the output type (for example, string and string)
