7.5.2 Process Parameters
Parameters for processes can be defined in the process window (choose "Details" in the right-mouse meny of a
process instance), They are defined in the "Parameter" area using mathematial formulas and comments. Ifthe
parameter section of the window is not fully displayed, you may need to click the (+) button om the right hand
side to expand it.
In the Process instance window (accessed by double-clicking on a process instance), a distinetion is made
