Properties Pane

In the Properties Pane, you can configure the name, description, and behavior of activities. You can also configure the name, description, and properties of workflow and business process definitions, and view additional information associated with it. The contents of this pane are determined by what is selected in the Designer Pane.

Tip: To display property boxes associated with the entire workflow or business process definition, versus a specific activity, select a blank spot in the Designer Pane.
