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 * Required shows the users which parameters are required in the workflow.
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:
