Description
General
Label

Step ID
Automatically generated identifier, unique within the process. Not editable.

Documentation
Documentation Fields
Local and default documentation fields to document in the process. Documentation fields are searchable.
Documentation Field Value

KPIs
KPIs for <Step Name>
Step-level KPI (Key Performance Indicator) definitions. For more information about the fields on this page and how to work with them, see About KPIs.
KPI Properties
Information used to describe a KPI: Name, Description, Unit of Measure, Associated Field, Aggregation Type, and Dimensions.
Name
Name of the KPI
Note:  
KPI names must be unique on a given Optimize server. Designer cannot, at design time, detect all the KPI names on the target server. However, if you duplicate a KPI name in a process, generation of the process produces a warning.
Description
Description of the KPI.
Unit of Measure
How the KPI is measured.
Associated Field
Associate the KPI with actual fields in the process. Only fields that are available in the output of the step can be used.
Note:  
When you associate an output field with a KPI or a dimension, Designer automatically adds the field to the Logged Fields page in the Properties view. Designer does not, however, automatically remove an output field from the Logged Fields page in the Properties view if you remove it from a KPI or dimension.
Aggregation Type
Aggregation type can be set to SUM, AVERAGE, or LAST VALUE
Dimensions
Use this area to add, delete, and manage data dimensions for a selected KPI. You can associate a field from the step output with one or more dimensions.
Note:  
Dimension names must be unique on a given Optimize server. Designer cannot, at design time, detect all the dimension names on the target server. However, if you duplicate a dimension label in a process, generation of the process produces a warning.
For more information, see About KPIs.
Inputs / Outputs
Inputs
Data flowing into the step. You can add and remove inputs manually, as well as add or update from the service signature. For more information, see Log Inputs and Outputs.
This works for call activities (including webMethods referenced process behavior), abstract tasks, service tasks, user tasks, rule tasks, and send tasks.
Outputs
Data flowing out of the step. You can add and remove outputs manually, as well as add or update from the service signature.
This works for call activities (including webMethods referenced process behavior), abstract tasks, service tasks, user tasks, rule tasks, and receive tasks.

Transition Type
Defines the transition behavior. Options are If Condition, Default, Join Timeout, Iterations Exceeded, and Unsatisfied Join.
For more information about these transition types and their configuration fields, see:
