Defining data for a transaction flow

Before you begin

Before you define data for a flow, you must first create a .transaction file. For information on how to create a transaction file, refer to the Creating a transaction file topic.

About this task

Data for a transaction flow is defined in the Transaction editor. Different types of data can be defined for a transaction flow, including Kcoll, Icoll, bColl, field, and so on. Every transaction flow must have a Kcoll data type as the root data container. Data elements are added to the Kcoll as child data elements.

A transaction flow can have many states, and different states can share the same data. In a transaction flow, data can be transmitted from the initial state to the final state.

Procedure

To define data for a transaction flow, do the following steps:

  1. In the Transaction editor, click the Data tab.
  2. Right-click in the Data panel, and then click New Child > kColl. The kColl is displayed in the Data panel.
  3. In the Id field of the Detailed Information panel of th kColl you are creating, enter an identifier for the kColl.
  4. To add child data elements to a kColl, right-click the kColl in the Data panel, and then click New Child.
