Metadata: Uses existing Metadata, generally the output of a "Execute Data
Mapping" on page618 or a "Retrieve Items" on page635 task set to retrieve
Records or Record Sets. This source has no options as it expects valid Metadata.
l
PDF/VT with Content Creation: Expects a PDF/VT file as an input and executes
basic data mapping on the file. This is the same as using the passthrough option in
the "Execute Data Mapping" on page618 task. Content Items are created
automatically. When this source is selected, the Content Creation tab is disabled.
Note
Once the All In One plugin has been executed with this option selected, any
task that attempts to access records in the database will fail.

templates is done from the Send to Workflow option in the Designer Module.

Runtime Parameters: The runtime parameters defined in the selected template are
displayed and their values can be set here. (See Runtime parameters in the Online Help

Right-click the field to open the contextual menu that allows to select variables, data and
lookup functions (see "Data selections" on page52).
If the template name is dynamic, you must enter the name (or select a variable that
contains the name) and set the value of all runtime parameters that may occur in the
template.
If a runtime parameter is defined in a template, but not set in the task properties, an error
will be raised. Note that it is not possible to change a parameter's type here; that can only
