Data and Variables

Data variables can be defined in Bonita Open Solution to accept, manipulate, and manage data for the process.

Variables can be defined

• globally (for the entire process)
• locally (accessible only to a single task and its transitions)

The data in these variables are persisted, that is, saved in the Bonita database.  Data can also be defined as

• transient

at the task level only, primarily for use in manipulating data in forms.  This data is not persisted.

You can also define some variabled to be a single or multiple type.

This section describes the types of variables you can define and use in Bonita Open Solution.
