Configuring the Workflow UDF type in Address Manager - BlueCat Integrity - 26.1.0

Enable Address Manager users to jump directly to a BlueCat Gateway workflow when viewing the details of an Address Manager object.

1. Select the Global tab in the sidebar, then select User-defined fields.
2. Select New.
3. Under General, set the following parameters:
   • Name—enter a name to be used by the Address Manager database. This name can't contain spaces.
   • Display name—enter a user-friendly name. This name appears to users in the Address Manager user interface.
   • Object type—select the type of object that you will be adding a user-defined field to. For more information on Address Manager object types, refer to Reference: Object types.
   • Data type—select Workflow.
   • Required—when this checkbox is selected, users must enter data for this user-defined field when creating or editing objects of the selected type.
   • Default label—enter a label that will be used as the default value for the user-defined field. The default label must be one of the labels from the list of pre-defined values below. This field is optional.
   • Label and URL—enter a label and URL then select Add (+) to add the label and URL to the table of pre-defined values. The label is the name of the BlueCat Gateway workflow and the URL is the URL pointing to the BlueCat Gateway workflow.
     Note: When the Workflow UDF is selected, at least one pre-defined value consisting of a label and a URL must be added. You can add several labels and URLs to the list.

4. On the Localized names tab, optionally add localized display names for the user-defined field to facilitate multi-language support for Address Manager. For example, if using the display name address (for English), you could enter dirección in the Spanish field, and adresse in the French field. This way, English, Spanish, and French users will see the locale specific display name for the user-defined field when logged in with a specific language.
5. In the Change control section, add comments if required.
6. Select Create.
   Once the UDF is created, you must then create an object in Address Manager (of the object type you selected), such as a DNS resource record, and select a value for the Workflow UDF field. Once the object is created, the user-defined field will contain a link with the label and URL that can be used to jump directly to the workflow in the BlueCat Gateway user interface.
