Adding Parameters to a Workflow

You can define and edit the parameters of a workflow.

Workflow parameters can be of simple (primitive) or complex types, including all library object types, service types, and user types.

When defining parameters of a workflow intended to be run on a robotic client, only simple types are supported. Complex parameter types may only be specified for workflows that are to be run on desktop clients.

You can use the workflow parameters to populate arguments of functions and statements used within the workflow.

When invoking a workflow that has parameters defined, the values of those parameters must be specified.
