Details for workflow objects
To examine the details for a workflow object, double-click the object or select View Details from the object’s context menu. The details displayed depend upon the type of object selected:
Parameters
Parameter objects are shown as yellow parallelograms in workflow diagrams. The Details screen for a parameter object displays the value of the parameter.
Actions
Action objects are shown as blue rectangles in workflow diagrams.
- If an action has been run successfully, the Details screen normally displays a summary of the objects retrieved, compared, analyzed, reported upon or written to an External Data Source.
- If an action has terminated with an error, the Details screen displays the error string.
- If the View Component Summary context menu option is chosen, the Details screen displays a summary for the selected component, including its name, ID and parameter definitions.
- While the following actions are running, the Details screen displays a summary of their progress. Select the F5 key periodically to update the display.
Datasets
Dataset objects are shown as green lists in workflow diagrams. If a workflow action has populated a dataset, the Details screen displays the contents of the dataset. Note that if a String dataset contains a URL, the View Details context menu or F3 key accesses the URL directly. This is also true for Image datasets, which store the URLs for charts generated by the Execute Graphviz action.
