Naming Format and Parameter Types for Workflow Parameters

The naming convention for workflow parameters lets you define a set of related parameters. The naming convention also defines the type of the parameter. The type of the parameter determines which interface controls CA GovernanceMinder displays when it prompts for the parameter value.

Use the following naming format for workflow parameters:

flow.Group_name.Param_type.Param_name

Note: Group_name is the group to which this parameter belongs, Param_type is the type of the parameter, and Param_name is the name of the parameter.

CA GovernanceMinder supports the following parameter types:

Text

Declares a parameter that contains a text value. CA GovernanceMinder displays the name or text label of the parameter and a text box control.

Note: If you declare a parameter and do not specify a parameter type, a text parameter is created by default.

Boolean

Declares a parameter that contains a Boolean value. CA GovernanceMinder displays a selection checkbox control beside the name or text label of the parameter.

UserMembersList

Declares a parameter that specifies a member list which matches user attributes. CA GovernanceMinder displays the name or text label of the parameter and a drop-down list of user member lists defined in the universe.

RoleMembersList

Declares a parameter that specifies a member list which matches role attributes. CA GovernanceMinder displays the name or text label of the parameter and a drop-down list of role member lists defined in the universe.

ResourceMembersList

Declares a parameter that specifies a member list which matches resource attributes. CA GovernanceMinder displays the name or text label of the parameter and a drop-down list of resource member lists defined in the universe.

Configuration

Declares a parameter that specifies a configuration file in the universe. CA GovernanceMinder displays the name or text label of the parameter and a drop-down list of configuration files defined in the universe.

ConfigurationAll

Declares a parameter that specifies a configuration file. CA GovernanceMinder displays the name or text label of the parameter and a drop-down list of all configuration files defined in the CA GovernanceMinder database.

Universe

Declares a parameter that specifies a universe. CA GovernanceMinder displays the name or text label of the parameter and a drop-down list of universes defined in the CA GovernanceMinder database.

AuditCard

Declares a parameter that specifies an audit card in the universe. CA GovernanceMinder displays the name or text label of the parameter and a drop-down list of audit cards defined in the universe.

PortalUser

Declares a parameter that specifies a user defined in the CA GovernanceMinder portal. CA GovernanceMinder displays the name or text label of the parameter, the default user you specify for the parameter, and a drop-down list of all users in the permissions configuration of the CA GovernanceMinder server.

AccountableType

Declares a parameter that specifies how to search the RACI configurations for a reviewer. CA GovernanceMinder displays a selection check box, the name or text label of the parameter, and a pair of option buttons for the Manager and Manager's Manager AccountableType values. Use this parameter type to specify how a reviewer is selected for role and resource entities.

AccountableTypeUser

Declares a parameter that specifies how to search the RACI configurations for a reviewer. CA GovernanceMinder displays a selection checkbox, the name or text label of the parameter, and three option buttons corresponding to the standard AccountableType values. Use this parameter type to specify how a reviewer is selected for user entities only, because it offers the Self Attestation value.
