How Logged Fields are Packaged in EDA Process Events

By default, a process instance step emits a process step instance change event each time the step changes status, as described in About EDA Predefined Process Event Types. If you want the emitted EDA event to contain business data from within the step, you must designate logged fields for the step:

All designated logged fields are automatically included in the payload of the emitted event. For more information, see How Logged Fields are Packaged in EDA Process Events.

If the step has no logged fields, no business data is included.

Input logged fields are emitted in the process step instance change event for Started status.

Output logged fields are emitted in the process step instance change event for Completed status.

For information about the location and contents of the XSD schema that contains logged fields as business data, see About Process Event Schemas.
