Title:  This is the title that appears on the workflow canvas.  It is used to identify this workflow object.  This will also appear in the message box title bar

First name: The first name of the new client.  This can be left blank, prompting the user to fill it in, or can use a variable that resolves to this value.

Last name: The last name of the new client.  This can be left blank, prompting the user to fill it in, or can use a variable that resolves to this value.

Email address: The email address of the new client.  This can be left blank, prompting the user to fill it in, or can use a variable that resolves to this value.

Phone number: The phone number of the new client.  This can be left blank, prompting the user to fill it in, or can use a variable that resolves to this value.

Store the new Client PKID in this variable: When the new client is successfully created, their unique database ID, or their PKID (Primary Key ID) can be stored in a variable.  This is useful is you wish to do further database/SQL look-up, or updates for the newly created client.

Using Variables

When variables are used as place-holders for the client details, the value of these variables will be updated if they are changed by the user.
