What is a common use of the Properties tab in the Process Modeler?

The Properties tab in the Process Modeler is primarily used to configure specific settings for each node within the process model. Each node, which represents a particular step or task in the overall process, has its own set of properties that can affect how that node behaves during execution. This can include settings such as input/output parameters, custom tasks, or conditions that dictate when the node is activated. By accessing the Properties tab when a node is selected, developers can tailor the functionality of that node to meet the requirements of the overall process, ensuring that it aligns with the desired business logic.

In distinguishing it from other options, the Properties tab does not directly deal with display settings of the model, which are typically managed elsewhere. While viewing the history of the process model is crucial for understanding previous configurations or run-time instances, it is not the focus of the Properties tab. Additionally, managing security roles is associated with application-level configurations rather than being specific to the properties of individual process nodes in the Process Modeler.
