Set the Contract Variables

The New Contract page is made of different sections, as shown in the figure below:

In the panel at the top of the page, you can edit the Name, Description, and Execution Queue of the Contract.

The Name, Status, Contract type, and Actor associated with your Contract are displayed in the panel on the right of the page. The Status of the Contract will appear as ENABLED. The toggle button cannot be set to DISABLED if the Contract is associated with an active FEL. The Status of the Contract is also shown in the Contracts column of the Contracts page. You can change the Actor associated with the Contract by selecting one of the entries in the Actor drop-down menu.

The Action selected in the wizard will appear in the Actions section of this page. The icon next to the Action Name signals that Action variables have not been configured yet. To configure the Action variables, click on the icon to expand the Action row.

Fill in the Action variables, setting mandatory and optional parameters described on the Workflows and Contracts interaction page.

For a detailed list of all the Action variables associated with System and Error Workflow templates, refer to the System Workflow Templates and Error Workflow Templates pages.

Once all the variables are set, this icon will appear next to the Action Name, and the Status of the Contract will change to READY. You can add a new Action by clicking the button below the Action variables row.
