You can add an object to the flow design. An object is a data object, document or deliverable such as an item, invoice, physical document, or product. 

Objects can represent, for example, inputs and outputs of processes and activities, or the content of messages exchanged internally or externally.

To add an object, you can choose from the objects as defined for the current solution and its referenced solutions.

If you add an object to a flow, and you select:

• A lane, the object is added to the lane.
• A flow element, the object is added to the right of the selected element.
• No lane or flow element, the object is added just somewhere on the design grid.
