1.3.1.2.3.1. Edit Parameters
The workflow parameters can have their initial configuration modified according to the user's needs. In order to do that, select a workflow timestamp with at least one input workflow parameter defined, go to Parameters tab and click on Edit parameters:
The Edit parameters window will be opened allowing the user to configure the input parameters (workflow and virtual parameters can be configured here):
The Edit Parameters window consists in 3 sections:
- Parameter Groups - By default, when creating a new workflow all input parameters will be displayed in the Unassigned group. Users can define Parameter Groups to organize parameters with the same scope in one group
- Parameters - The parameters' position can be changed using drag and drop up and down the list. In order to edit a parameter the user must first select it. In its initial state, a parameter is provided with a display name that is identical to the parameter's name; the field is marked as mandatory
- Selected Parameter Configuration - Parameter types and options can be configured in this area
Valid Parameter Type/Type Configuration matches:
- Date Picker → accepts DateTime & String types
- CheckBox → accepts Boolean & String types
- ComboBox/ListView → accepts String (for single selection) & String[] (for multiple selection) types
- VMware Host Picker → accepts String[] type
- Grid → accepts Collection<Collection<String>> type
- Objects Selector → accepts String (for single selection) & String[] (for multiple selection) types
- Other Parameter Type Configuration → accepts String type
If an incorrect configuration type is selected for a parameter (for example for a parameter of type String, the Grid configuration cannot be selected because it requires Collection<Collection<String>> type) a validation error will be thrown when trying to save the new configuration:
