Associated properties file

Specifies the full path or symbolic name of the file that the StoreInRepository step can use to store one or more properties that are associated with the job, but that are properties of other objects. For example, you can store a property of the printer that was used to print the job, such as the printer model or location.

You can also select a step resource object as the value for the property instead of providing a path and filename. Using a step resource lets you change the specific file without editing all of the workflows that contain the step that uses the file.
