Setting Preferences on the Company Preferences Page

Workflow Manager 2017

You can perform some Workflow Manager configuration tasks by editing the Workflow Manager configuration file (web.config), which is located in the following directory:

C:\AdminStudioWebComponents_2016\wwwroot

However, you can easily modify many common company-specific configuration settings on the Company Preferences page, which is opened by selecting Company Preferences on the Settings menu and then clicking on a company name.

Company Preferences Page

The Company Preferences page includes the following properties.

Select this option to send a confirmation email to the workflow request submitter once the request has been submitted successfully.

Product Name

To customize the name of this application, enter a value other than Workflow Manager.

Send Email As BCC

Select this option to prevent email recipients from seeing the email addresses of other users that are receiving the same email.

Send One Email To All Users

Select this option to instruct Workflow Manager to send one email notification to all specified users. If this option is not selected, individual emails will be sent to all specified users. In other words, instead of sending out one email to 25 people, Workflow Manager will send out 25 emails to 25 people.

Send Email To Users With Edit Privileges

By default, if there are no email notifications defined on any workflow phase or step, Workflow Manager will not send any email notifications upon step completion. However, if you select this option, Workflow Manager will send email notifications to all assigned users who have edit permission on the next workflow step (even though no email notifications are defined).

AdminStudio Url

If AdminStudio is configured with the Flexera Service Gateway, then during Workflow Manager installation, the AdminStudio URL will be entered in this field.

AdminStudio Import Base Directory

When importing packages into the AdminStudio Application Catalog as part of a workflow step, the packages to be imported need to copied to a subdirectory of this directory. By default, the value of this property is:

C:\AdminStudioWebComponents_2016\SHAREPATH\UNCPath

This path is initially set using the Configuration Wizard immediately after Workflow Manager installation.

As soon as a workflow request is created, Workflow Manager automatically creates a subdirectory inside this base directory for that request using the following naming convention:

WorkflowRequestName_WFnn

Examples are Perforce_WF19 or Lightroom_WF10.

AdminStudio Import Formats

To specify the import formats you want to Workflow Manager to support, edit the list of file extensions in this field. File extensions are listed without the preceding period and are separated by commas.

Workflow Manager supports importing most of the deployment types that are supported by AdminStudio:

• Microsoft Windows Installer package (.msi)
• Installation package (.exe)
• VMware ThinApp virtual package (.exe)
• Apple iOS mobile application (.ipa)
• Google Android mobile application (.apk)
• Microsoft Windows Store application (.appx)
• Symantec Workspace virtual package (.xpf)
• Microsoft App-V 4.x virtual package (.sft)
• Microsoft App-V 5.x virtual package (.appv)
• Citrix XenApp virtual package (.profile)
• Mac OS X disk image (.dmg)
• Mac OS X installer package (.pkg)

Release AdminStudio Receipt

When Workflow Manager, when performing an AdminStudio Integration workflow step, calls the AdminStudio API, the AdminStudio API returns a Receipt ID that helps keep track of transactions.

• If this option is selected, then Workflow Manager calls another API to release these Receipt IDs.
• If this option is not selected and Receipt IDs are not released, then they keep adding to database size. Receipt IDs, if not released, can help keep a history of transactions.

Note • It is recommended that this option be selected.
