Associate Views with External Objects (Add)

When you join an activity and an external object in the Activity Dependency Diagram, you identify the information to be passed between them. To do this, you assign associated views that are subsets of the import or export views of the activity.

You identify to a process what data to expect from the external object and what data to prepare to send out. This level of detail is recommended when two or more external objects provide information to or receive information from the process. In these cases, the associated views help identify the providers and receivers of information.

You can associate only import and export entity views of a process with an external object. You cannot associate group and work views. The local and entity action view subsets are not available in the Activity Dependency Diagram.
