Step 2: Parameters

If you enable action policies option, you have to define Predefined actions only since the policy will be executed without any customer interaction.

2.1. Set the parameter name.

2.2. Select the parameter type.

2.3. Click Required box if the parameter must be defined for the corresponding Rest Endpoint action.

2.4. Select Predefined to execute the action with a determined value.

Otherwise, select Prompt User to execute the action with a value which is chosen by the user at the run time. Prompt user allows you to select input type as 'Drop-down list', 'Free-form text' or 'Checkbox'.

  • If you select the Drop-down list, users are asked to enter inputs in the Values section. During the action execution, users will be able to select values from the drop-down list to run action.

  • If you select Free-form text option, it allows users to input any value for this parameter at run time.

  • If the parameter type is List, you will be asked to enter values for 'Checkbox' input type. Checkbox allows you to select multiple values during the action execution.

    2.5. Click 'Add a new parameter' to configure additional parameters.
