To Setup Upstream Process to Give 'Selections' to Downstream Task

It is possible to create a workflow that the Proposed choices displayed in the downstream can be specified in the upstream process. Select type data is usually defined a fixed choices when designing the workflow. If you want to dynamically display the choices of each project, let them enter proposed choices into "String type data (multiple lines)" at upperstream.

Example of Usage Scene: To be able to set a suggested tag list for each content.

Let's take a look at the production flow of Web content such as blogs. When tagging to classify the article, it brings unification, if the editor presets a tag list for the writer to select, rather than the writer tags freely.
And it is more efficient to give him the choice of tags which suggested along the theme, instead of selecting from huge tag list.

Let's setup a Workflow that makes a suggested tag list along the theme of each article at the upstream task of asking writing.

To Setup to Make the String Type Data Entered in Upstream as The Choices.

To define String type data and Select type data

Set [Text Box multiple lines] on String type data item of "Suggested Tag list". Each line will be defined as the choices. (You can set [Text Box single line] if choice was only one, though it will be rare case.) Click on the [Edit] button in the column of Select type data item of "Tags", to open [Choices Setting] screen. Check on the [Specify by string type process data.] radio button, and specify the String type data item of "Suggested Tag list".

To setup Permission

Setup [Permission] as the String type data item of "Suggested Tag list" to be entered in the upperstream than the task of selecting Select type data of "Tags".
