Customize JobTemplate

Question

Hi All,

ArcGIS enterprise version:  10.9.1

We are using ArcGIS Workflow Manager Server (service-driven). Is there any possibility to "Customize JobTemplate".

Requirement is to define our own fields and admin will set/update these custom fields before creating Job.

For Ex: We would like to add "Job Type" which will show a drop-down with possible values like "Field Visit" & "No Field Visit"

Please find enclosed screenshot for reference. Thanks.

Thanks @SirishByreddy

Glad to hear you have a path forward here that should work. Let me know if you run into issues with this solution.

Our project requirement is not validating the input values before job create (point-1) which you have mentioned.

Project requirement is to (before) create a job with user created or pre defined values and the job should be assigned to the user (field staff).

As suggested we are planning to implement 'Update Job Properties' step auto run as the first step in a workflow diagram.

Thanks

I'll tag you both since I'm curious about both use cases. Have some more questions here.

1. Is there a need to validate these input values as a determining factor on whether a job is created or not? Meaning, someone inputs value A and that means a job is created vs. someone inputs value B and that means a job is not created.

2. If no to above, then what are the reasons why you need to input these values before a job is created vs. having an Update Job Properties step auto run as the first step in a workflow? Trying to better understand that use case so we can sort out a way forward here.

Thanks!
