Example:
Let’s build and execute the “linkBusinessDataDef” example.
- Create a new process definition called “linkBusinessDataDef” and open the definition in designer mode.
- Drag a “linkBusinessData” step to the canvas.
- Connect the dots between the “Start” and the “linkBusinessData” steps, as shown above.
- Define a few variables or globals to store the data items.
- Click the “linkBusinessData” step to configure its “Required” properties. Provide a name for the step. Click the button to link Items to the instance. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button for the Copilot to add new process steps that match your process description.

- Click the button to link Items to the instance. A pop-up window is displayed for configuration. Click the Add Row (+) button to insert an empty row. Provide the Item value and the Item Type. Click the Save button. You may add multiple item values by using the Add Row button.

- Save the process definition. Then, navigate to the Process—Instance page and generate a new process instance.

- On the Process Instance page, select the above process instance from the table and select the Execute - With Params menu option. Provide the variable values and click the Execute button.

- The process instance completes successfully. Select the instance to render and click the Items - Business Data menu option.

- The step should link business objects used within the process instance.

Definition Sample:
You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import them (drag-and-drop) to your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page.
Note: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections, after import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
