Creating, modifying, and deleting linked properties

Available with Workflow Manager license.

The Linked Properties tab contains custom properties specific to your organization's business needs, as configured by your Workflow Manager (Classic) administrator. The tab allows you to add, delete, view, and update (where applicable) 1–M properties. 1–M means that there can be any number of records in each configured table for each job. For 1–1 relationships between jobs and custom properties, see the Extended Properties tab.

See Extended Properties in the Jobs Types book for more information about the extended properties.

Note:

This functionality is controlled through privileges. If you are unable to interact with this tab, please consult with your Workflow Manager (Classic) administrator.

Clicking the Linked Properties tab when a job is selected in the job list shows something similar to the figure below. The tab may appear named something else, depending on the configuration.

The linked properties tables are displayed in a tabular view. When a job is created, the linked properties view is empty. Records have to be added to the view.

Note:

Linked properties cannot be added, modified or deleted in offline jobs.
