Data Source Settings

Go to "Actions" menu (1) of process builder. Click "Open Process Settings" menu item (2) to show proper popup (3).

Select "Data Source Settings" tab (4):

There are several fields:

  • Data Source - shows current object which records will be source of data for each particular process instance. This field is not editable at process builder, it can be set only at process creation wizard.
  • Name Field - Source object field API name, that will be used to get information about record instead of default field (record name).
  • The process will be used for a single record - indicates if multiple instances for different records allowed to start or not.
  • Source Record - should appear when checked "The process will be used for a single record". If select record here, the process will be automatically started on it. If leave this field empty, user will be prompted to select record when start a process.

Notes:

  • "Name Field" will be shown in places related to this process, e.g., as record name at "Records" subtab of  Process Details page or as Instance Name in proper Task Manager filter.
  • "The process will be used for a single record" field will be read-only if process has at least one started instance. "Source Record" field will not be displayed in this case.
  • Additional Fields - shows list of linked objects fields that are used in any place of the process configuration. For example, some connector between steps has a condition which contains a second-level field (5). After saving conditions this field will be added to the list of additional fields automatically (6).
  • Click "Reload Fields" button (7) to check if list of additional fields has been changed by somebody else.
  • Listed additional fields are useful to copy and paste into necessary merge fields constructions without digging in field picker.
