4.2 Configure Advanced Settings

The Advanced settings enables you to make application level changes in the Workflow Administration Console. You can add new configuration properties or modify the existing properties directly to the workflow runtime database. The configuration property key and its values are stored in a central location so that multiple workflow engines can use the same setting values.

IMPORTANT:In a SaaS environment, only the SaaS operations administrator can configure the advanced settings.

4.2.1 Add a New Configuration Property

To add a new configuration property to the workflow runtime database, perform the following actions:

  1. Click the Advanced drop-down menu on the Settings page.

  2. Click the Add new configuration option.

  3. In the NEW CONFIGURATION modal window, enter the Key for the configuration property that you want to add. Characters allowed includes A-Z, a-z, slash (/), hyphen (-), period (.), and underscore (_).

  4. (Conditional) To enable encryption for the Value text box, select the Encrypt check box.

  5. Enter a Value for the configuration property. Characters allowed includes A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and special characters. The input value will get encrypted if you have enabled encryption in Step 4, else it will display in clear-text.

    NOTE:The application does not consider any whitespace provided at the beginning or end of a value and saves the input without these characters. However, it does not apply if the value field is encrypted.

  6. Click Add.

4.2.2 Edit Existing Configuration Properties

To modify any configuration property that is already present in the workflow runtime database, perform the following actions:

  1. Click the Advanced drop-down menu on the Settings page.

  2. You can search for the property by its key or value. The search finds every key or value that begins with the text you type. It is not case sensitive. You can optionally use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard in your text to represent zero or more of any character that you want to search.

  3. Identify the property that you want to modify. Click the Edit icon corresponding to that property.

  4. Change the value in the Value field as desired. Characters allowed includes A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and special characters.

    NOTE:If the value is non-encrypted, the application does not consider any whitespace provided at the beginning or end of the value and saves the input without these characters.

  5. (Optional) If you want to revert the field to its previous value, click the Reset icon.

  6. Click the Save icon.
