This handler starts softlinks and fills it with variables from the main process.
Thereby, the handler acts in accordance with the following schema:
It searches for all variables containing the mainDataSuffix. Afterwards, it searches for all variables containing the softLinkSuffix, whereupon it counts up from 0 to the small softLinkCount.
After every increment, a softlink instance of the given definition is started.
In the softlink instances, the softLinkSuffix is removed in order to make the representation in the Smartform easier.

Tells from which process definitions the softlinks should be started.

Tells which process variables of the main process should be taken for all of the Softlinks.
Example: if the suffix is set to '_daten', the all process variables ending in '_daten' will be taken (firstname_daten, lastname_daten, email_daten,…)

Tells how many softlinks should be started.

Tells which variables should be assigned to the individual softlinks.
This is where the parameter “softLinkCount” is employed.
The handler counts to “i”, counting up from 0 to i < softLinkCount and thereby collects all variables that are built based on the following schema:

variablenname_softLinkSuffix[i]

After every run-though, an new instance of the softlinkdefinition is started and provided with all of the variables found through the “mainSuffix” and the “softLinkSuffix”.
In the newly-started softlink instance, the softLinkSuffix is removed in order to assure a standardized representation in the Smartform.

Tells whether the softlink instances should be archived when the main process instances are archived.
Possible values:
archiveWithMainInstance=true → The softlink instances are archived with the main process instance.
archiveWithMainInstance=false → The softlink instances are not archived with the main process instance.
