Add Report Section activity
You can use the Add Report Section activity to add custom information to the change history report (in case of workflow started by an operation request) or run history report (in case of automation workflow). The activity adds a separate section to the Workflow activities and policy actions area of the report. The section consists of a header and a body. The activity provides the following options for configuring the text to be displayed in the header and the body of the report section:
-
You can specify whether the report section is intended to display information about successful operation or error condition. In the latter case, the text of the header and the body of the report section is displayed in red.
-
You can compose the header text of data entries that will be calculated during execution of the activity. The activity offers various data entry types, allowing the header text to include properties of objects involved in the workflow and related objects, date and time of activity execution, and workflow parameters.
-
You can configure the body text to include multiple strings, with each string composed by using the same options that are available for the header text string. Thus, in addition to literal text strings and formatting characters, the body text may include information about object properties and other string values the activity will calculate in workflow run time.
You can also add the Add Report Section activity to a certain If-Else branch to have the report indicate that the workflow executed that branch of activities.
Search activity
A Search activity allows you to perform searches against directory data to find objects, such as users or groups, that match the criteria you specify based on object properties, object location, and other information available in the execution environment of the workflow, and to pass these objects to other activities so that the workflow can perform the appropriate actions on them. You can insert activities into a Search activity and have those activities process the objects found by the Search activity.
The following topics cover the configurable settings of a Search activity:
Search scenario
You can configure a Search activity to:
-
Search in the Organizational Unit or container: Search a certain OU or container for objects that match your search criteria.
-
Search for resources managed or owned by the user or group: Search for the managed objects of a particular user or group that match your search criteria. Managed objects of a user or group are those for which the user or group is the primary owner (manager) or a secondary owner.
-
Search the group for its members: Search for the members of a certain group that match your search criteria.
-
Search for direct reports of the user: Search for the direct reports of a particular user that match your search criteria. Direct reports of a given user are the users for which that user is the manager.
-
Search within the attribute of the object (ASQ search): Search for the objects listed in a certain attribute of a particular object that match your search criteria.
Object type
You can specify the type of the objects you want the activity to search for. The list from which you can select the object type varies depending on the search scenario you have selected.
