Working With Workflow Arguments

Standard Arguments

A workflow must provide a minimum argument list that matches the expectation of the workflow trigger that creates the workflow.

Example: a workflow for a WorkflowTableWatcher must provide an argument Arg_TableId and Arg_EntryId whereas a workflow for a WorkflowFolder Watcher must provide an argument Arg_File.

Therefore we provide workflow templates with different argument lists.

Generic workflow (can be used in WorkflowScheduler)
TableWatcher workflow (TW)
FolderWatcher workflow (FW)
ContentManager workflow (CM)
SubclipEditor workflow (SCE)

Argument Name	Required	Description
ServiceRootAddress	Always
CurrentWorkflowId	Always
User	Always	DigaSystem credentials under which the workflow is executing.
Password	Always	DigaSystem credentials under which the workflow is executing.
AccessToken	Optional	Manydatory for running with OIDC authentication in DPE 2.x
Arg_Event	TW, FW	String describing the event that lead to creating the workflow instance: "Created", "Changed", "Renamed", "Deleted". Mandatory for Workflow Table Watcher and Folder Watcher
Arg_TableId	TW, CM, SCE	DigaSystem table id, e.g. "MyDatabase\MyTable". Mandatory for Workflow Table Watcher.
Arg_EntryId	TW, CM, SCE	DigaSystem entry number, e.g. 12345. Mandatory for Workflow Table Watcher.
Arg_TableIds	CM	Optional string argument to pass many comma-separated table ids to one workflow. Normally one workflow is triggered per entry. Requires a ContenManager plugin config containing `"ManyToOne": 1`
Arg_EntryIds	CM	Optional string argument to pass many comma-separated entry ids to one workflow. Normally one workflow is triggered per entry. Requires a ContentManager plugin config containing `"ManyToOne": 1`
Arg_File	FW	File path. Mandatory for Workflow Folder Watcher.
Arg_Subclips	SCE	Comma-separated string of subclip ids
Arg_MarkIn	SCE	As an alternative to a list of subclips a mark in and mark out can be passed from Subclip Editor to a workflow.
Arg_MarkOut	SCE	As an alternative to a list of subclips a mark in and mark out can be passed from Subclip Editor to a workflow.
