Parameter definitions

On this page, the user can assign attributes to the Workflow Configuration, remove attributes from the Workflow Configuration and define the availability of the attributes in the Process start modal and UI Administration. Also, the user can configure whether certain attributes can be editable in the UI.

The column 'In the process start modal' is only shown, in case no detail-view has been configured for the Tab 'View' of this Workflow Configuration.

Before the attributes can be assigned within the Workflow Configuration, they must be created under Data → Attributes - Workflow Attributes. More info here.

workflow config parameter definitions CC

Figure 1. The Parameter definitions of the Workflow Configuration plugin

The Parameter definitions table provides the following information for assigned attributes:

Name of option	Description	Note
Attribute identifier	Shows the attribute identifier of the added attribute, visualized with attribute type icon and identifier of the workflow attribute.	The dropdown is searchable and can be reopened by hover and click to select another attribute. All workflow attributes, which are not yet configured in the Parameter definitions table are listed in the opened dropdown.
Attribute definition	Shows the information whether the global attribute definition is used within the workflow configuration or a modified local attribute definition.	Global attribute definition means that the attribute is used exactly as it was created in the Data section (see: Workflow attributes) Local attribute definition means that the attribute has been customized specifically for the Workflow Configuration use case. This is possible via the function 'Adjust attribute definition' (described below).
Object type	Shows info of the defined exact object type for an asset that is intended for the file attribute e.g. for object type Image only. Images can be associated with the attribute.	This information is only relevant for configured workflow attributes of type 'File' (see: Workflow attributes data types).
Possible values	Shows defined possible values of the configured workflow attribute, which will be transmitted to the process.	This information is only relevant for configured workflow attributes of type 'Text', 'Number' and 'Language' (see: Workflow attributes data types). The values of the column can change by 'Adjust attribute definition' function (described below).
Default value	Shows defined default value of the configured workflow attribute, which will be transmitted to the process.	This information is relevant for all configured workflow attributes types except of type 'File' (see: Workflow attributes data types). The value(s) of the column can change by 'Adjust attribute definition' function for attributes from data type 'Text', 'Number' and 'Language' (described below).
Placeholder	Shows defined placeholder of the configured workflow attribute, which will be transmitted to the process.	This information is only relevant for configured workflow attributes of type 'Text' and 'File' (see: Workflow attributes data types).
Allow multiple values for the attribute	Shows if multiple values can be transmitted to the process.	This information is only relevant for configured workflow attributes of type 'Text', 'Date', 'Number' and 'Language' (see: Workflow attributes data types).
In the UI Administration	Dropdown to define, if the configured attribute should be Not visible, Visible, or Editable in the UI Administration.	'Not visible' means that the attribute cannot be viewed or edited within the UI Administration. 'Visible' means that the attribute is displayed in the UI Administration, but is not editable. 'Editable' means that the attribute is visible and can be modified in the UI Administration. If the attribute is changed and saved in the UI Administration, a local attribute definition is created, which only applies to this workflow configuration, but does not change the globally created attribute or other uses of the attribute.
In the process start modal	Dropdown to define, if the configured attribute should be Not visible, Visible, or Editable in the Process start modal, which will be opened in the UI, when executing the workflow configuration toolbar button.	This column is only available, in case that no Detail view has been configured in View tab. 'Not visible' means that the attribute cannot be viewed or edited within the Process start modal. 'Visible' means that the attribute is displayed in the Process start modal, but is not editable. 'Editable' means that the attribute is visible and can be modified in the Process start modal.

Name of option

Description

Note

Attribute identifier

Shows the attribute identifier of the added attribute, visualized with attribute type icon and identifier of the workflow attribute.

The dropdown is searchable and can be reopened by hover and click to select another attribute.

All workflow attributes, which are not yet configured in the Parameter definitions table are listed in the opened dropdown.

Attribute definition

Shows the information whether the global attribute definition is used within the workflow configuration or a modified local attribute definition.

Global attribute definition means that the attribute is used exactly as it was created in the Data section (see: Workflow attributes)

Local attribute definition means that the attribute has been customized specifically for the Workflow Configuration use case. This is possible via the function 'Adjust attribute definition' (described below).

Object type

Shows info of the defined exact object type for an asset that is intended for the file attribute e.g. for object type Image only. Images can be associated with the attribute.

This information is only relevant for configured workflow attributes of type 'File' (see: Workflow attributes data types).

Possible values

Shows defined possible values of the configured workflow attribute, which will be transmitted to the process.

This information is only relevant for configured workflow attributes of type 'Text', 'Number' and 'Language' (see: Workflow attributes data types).

The values of the column can change by 'Adjust attribute definition' function (described below).

Default value

Shows defined default value of the configured workflow attribute, which will be transmitted to the process.

This information is relevant for all configured workflow attributes types except of type 'File' (see: Workflow attributes data types).

The value(s) of the column can change by 'Adjust attribute definition' function for attributes from data type 'Text', 'Number' and 'Language' (described below).

Placeholder

Shows defined placeholder of the configured workflow attribute, which will be transmitted to the process.

This information is only relevant for configured workflow attributes of type 'Text' and 'File' (see: Workflow attributes data types).

Allow multiple values for the attribute

Shows if multiple values can be transmitted to the process.

This information is only relevant for configured workflow attributes of type 'Text', 'Date', 'Number' and 'Language' (see: Workflow attributes data types).

In the UI Administration

'Not visible' means that the attribute cannot be viewed or edited within the UI Administration.

'Visible' means that the attribute is displayed in the UI Administration, but is not editable.

'Editable' means that the attribute is visible and can be modified in the UI Administration.

If the attribute is changed and saved in the UI Administration, a local attribute definition is created, which only applies to this workflow configuration, but does not change the globally created attribute or other uses of the attribute.

In the process start modal

Dropdown to define, if the configured attribute should be

Not visible,
Visible,
or Editable

in the Process start modal, which will be opened in the UI, when executing the workflow configuration toolbar button.

'Not visible' means that the attribute cannot be viewed or edited within the Process start modal.

'Visible' means that the attribute is displayed in the Process start modal, but is not editable.
