Subflow task properties

You can edit the properties of a ruleflow subflow task.

To edit the properties for a subflow task, click it in the Diagram page of the Ruleflow Editor.

The following properties are available in the Properties view:

Table 1. Subflow Task tab
Property	Purpose
ID	An ID is the technical name for a subflow task. All ruleflow elements have an ID that identifies them in an XML schema. In Rule Designer Java, the ID of a subflow task is used to generate the IRL code executed at runtime. To view this code, click the IRL tab under the Ruleflow Editor. If you duplicate a subflow task in a ruleflow, it has a unique ID. IDs are not locale dependent. When you specify an ID, it is good practice to use only characters (`a`-`z`, `A`-`Z`) and numbers (`0`-`9`).
Label	You can specify a label for the subflow task that appear in the Diagram page. A label has no impact on the IRL generated. Labels are locale dependent. You can specify different labels in a new locale and recover the labels in the original locale for elements that have not changed. For example, if you change the ID of a subflow task, you lose the labels defined for the subflow task in all other locales except the original. When you specify a label, it is good practice to use only characters (`a`-`z`, `A`-`Z`) and numbers (`0`-`9`).
Select a ruleflow	Click Edit to open the Select a ruleflow dialog.
