Cisco Cisco Process Orchestrator 2.X User Guide

The Reference 

 icon to the right of a text field indicates that the field can be populated by referencing 

a defined variable or the property of another activity or process. Use the Insert Variable Reference dialog 
box to select a defined variable or object to populate a field. 

Only variables valid for the selected field can be selected in this dialog box. The OK button does not 
activate until a valid property or variable is selected.

To insert a variable reference:

To the right of a field on a property page, click the Reference

tool.

The Insert Variable Reference dialog box displays.

The Required Value 

 icon displayed on a tab or page indicates that the field is required and is missing 

a value.

Check the Show Advanced check box to display all items that are available for referencing. 

If the check box is not checked, then only the most commonly-used items are displayed for activities, 
processes or events.

Click the Workflow Activity Expand (+) to display the reference objects for the activities in the
