If a workflow requires input parameters, it opens a dialog box in which users enter the required input parameter values when it runs. You can organize the content and layout, or presentation, of this dialog box in Presentation tab in the workflow editor.

The way you organize parameters in the Presentation tab translates into the input parameters dialog box when the workflow runs, and in the dialog box that opens when you run a workflow from a Web view.

The Presentation tab also allows you to add descriptions of the input parameters to help users when they provide input parameters. You can also set properties and constraints on parameters in the Presentation tab to limit the parameters that users provide. If the parameters the user provides do not meet the constraints you set in the Presentation tab, the workflow will not run.

Important

The use of OGNL expressions in workflow presentations is deprecated as of Orchestrator 4.1. Using OGNL expressions in workflow presentations is not supported in releases of Orchestrator later than 4.1.

■
Creating the Input Parameters Dialog Box In the Presentation Tab

You define the layout of the dialog box in which users provide input parameters when they run a workflow in the Presentation tab of the workflow editor.

■
Setting Parameter Properties

Orchestrator allows you to define properties to qualify the input parameter values that users provide when they run workflows. The parameter properties you define impose limits on the types and values of the input parameters the users provide.
