Customize Text Labels for Workflow Parameters

By default, CA GovernanceMinder uses the group name and parameter name strings of the parameter declaration to display prompts for a workflow parameter.

For example, when parameters are declared as follows:

flow.CustomParamGroup.Boolean.PromptSelectOption
flow.CustomParamGroup.PortalUser.PromptForReviewer
flow.CustomParamGroup.AccountableType.PromptForRACI

CA GovernanceMinder generates interface elements and controls as shown in the following figure:

default labels for CA GovernanceMinder workflow parameters

You can define text strings to replace these parameter declaration strings.

The following properties files store text strings for the CA GovernanceMinder portal interface:

Note: gm_install is the CA GovernanceMinder installation directory.

Edit the relevant files to declare strings for your workflow parameters.

Note: Restart CA GovernanceMinder server to use these new strings in the portal.

Example: Text Labels for Workflow Parameters

The following statements define strings for the custom parameters of the previous example:

flow.CustomParamGroup = Custom Reviewer Selection Options
flow.CustomParamGroup.Boolean.PromptSelectOption = Use Custom Reviewer Selection Options
flow.CustomParamGroup.PortalUser.PromptForReviewer = Assign All Review Tasks to One User
flow.CustomParamGroup.AccountableType.PromptForRACI = Search RACI for a reviewer who is

Note: Define a separate string for the group name, as shown.

Based on these string definitions, CA GovernanceMinder generates interface elements and controls as shown in the following figure:
