This handler adds a variable to the process. The variable is not visible in the smartform. It also adds the user name of the instance starter as the value.

This variable and its values are shown in the PDF-report in the smartform area.

The default variable name is „Starter“. However, an arbitrary name may be entered into the mandatory field.

In order to assign the instance starter to a specific swimlane, the following handler may be used: AssignStarterToSwimlaneHandler

The following variables will be generated:
- starter / prefix value : UserName
- starter / prefix value + Expression (z.B. starterExpression) : user(Username)
- starter / prefix value + Firstname (z.B. starterFirstname) : First name
- starter / prefix value + Lastname (z.B. starterLastname) : Last name
- starter / prefix value + Email(z.B. starterEmail) : E-mail address
- starter / prefix value + Department(z.B. starterDepartment) : Department

For example: Standard:
starter:MHI
starterExpression:user(MHI)
starterFirstname:Markus
starterLastname:Hirscher
starterEmail:Markus.Hirscher@example.de
starterDepartment:HR

in the example under:
starteroptionaler_variablenname:MHI
starteroptionaler_variablennameExpression:user(MHI)
starteroptionaler_variablennameFirstname:Markus
starteroptionaler_variablennameLastname:Hirscher
starteroptionaler_variablennameEmail:Markus.Hirscher@example.de
starteroptionaler_variablennameDepartment:HR

or with start_ :
