Adding an input or an output to a snippet

The input defines the data that enters the snippet, and the output specifies the result.

To create a new input or output in your snippet, proceed as follows:

Procedure

1. In the tray, click the plus icon () to the right of either Inputs or Output. You can create an input or an output in the same way.

   You can create as many inputs as you want, but only a single output.

2. In the Description tab of the Properties area, rename it if necessary, and specify an appropriate type. You can choose a Java™ type, a data type or a business object.

Results

Your newly created input or output appears in the tray.
