Add Work Item Fields

This window is displayed when you select Work Item Fields from the Settings menu of the Process Designer. It lists all the work item fields that have been added. The application data available in contents or variables can be displayed in the Work items list using work item fields. You can map the contents and variables with the work item fields in this window.

The 'Work Item Fields' property of the Human activities can be used to specify the work item fields to be used for a particular activity.
