Data objects provide information about how documents, data, and other objects are used and updated within a process. Data objects are often associated with flow objects.
Creating and Modifying Data Objects
Tool Palette of the BPMN template contains a tool for creating data objects 
. When you have selected the tool in the Tool Palette, create a new data object by pointing and clicking the location for the data object on the flow chart.
You can edit the properties of data objects (such as the attributes listed in the tables below) by right-clicking on the element in the flow chart view and selecting Set Process Step Properties... For further information on this dialog, see topic "Element Dialog" in QPR ProcessGuide - User's Guide. Using the pop-up context menu, you can also change directly some of the data object properties, such as the name.
