Parameterize
Parameterizing a workflow means replacing fixed values with reusable inputs so the same browser workflow can run in more than one situation.
Why parameterize
A first recording usually captures exact values from the original run. Parameterization helps you reuse the workflow by making those values flexible.
Examples:
- a patient or claim identifier
- a search term
- a date range
- a file name
When to parameterize
Parameterize a workflow when:
- the steps are correct, but the values change each time
- teammates need to use the same workflow for different records
- the workflow should become part of a broader process
Good candidates for inputs
- text entered into forms
- values selected from lists
- search fields
- file names or file paths
Best practices
- Start by parameterizing only the values that truly change.
- Keep input names easy for a teammate to understand.
- Test the workflow again after each meaningful change.
