  Reference: Create Values

## Purpose

Use this component to create 1 or more values for use later in your orchestration.

Example: incoming data includes `firstName` and `lastName` values but the endpoint you’re invoking only accepts a full name. You create a value named `fullName` that's equivalent to `firstName` and`lastName` separated by a space.

## <a id="d93e123"></a>Template Availability

This component is available in these orchestration templates:

-   Synchronous
-   Asynchronous
-   Business Process
-   Home Card
-   Integration System
-   Custom Agent Action


## <a id="d93e151"></a>Properties

Provide a meaningful <b>Reference Name</b> for the step as it will appear in your orchestration.

Specify the <b>Key</b> and <b>Value</b> for a key/value pair.

Select the value's data <b>Type</b>. When you select <i>AutoType</i>, Orchestrate determines the data type for you and adjusts automatically if that type changes.

<b>Note:</b>

When a <b>Create Values</b> step creates key/value pairs whose values depend on each other, Orchestrate must process the pairs sequentially. Doing so incurs a performance cost. When the values created in a step are independent of each other, Orchestrate can process them in parallel, gaining efficiency.

As a result, when dealing with complex data transformations you should group the creation of independent key/value pairs separately from dependent values. No additional configuration is required to achieve the efficiency gain.
