after selecting the operation, fields with additional data required to perform the operation may appear. In addition to the ability to specify the desired operation, one can also specify a search query which will define the affected process instances. Please note that some operations can be only performed on running process instances, while others can only be executed on finished process instances. You will see an appropriate notice once the operation type is selected.
Navigation to the next step will be disabled as long as all required data to perform the operation is not filled out.
Confirmation Of Operation

In the section with extended information, you see a path to the REST endpoint that will process the request as well as the payload of the request.
