Configuration options

This section contains tab configuration details specific to this smart service. For more information about common configurations see the Process Node Properties page.

Data tab

This tab displays the node inputs and node outputs for the service node. You can add additional inputs and outputs, if needed.

Node inputs

The default inputs are:

Input	Data Type	Required	Multiple
New Administrators (Users)	User	Yes	Yes
Group	Group	Yes	No

If the node is run without being assigned to a user (or a group) you must specify values for each of the Node Inputs listed in the table above. You can either manually enter data into the text-field, or a value can be generated using the Expression Editor. When using the Expression Editor, you can reference and modify Process Variables, rules, constants, and other data. The expressions then populate your Node Input values.

If the node is assigned, the Node Input values are typed by your assigned user(s) into a form.
