Metadata for workflow inputs and outputs

Integrating pSeven Enterprise into an external system — such as SPDM — often requires custom metadata for the input and output ports of automated workflows, which act as run-ready processes.

For the connection to be convenient for the user and ensure proper data exchange, it may require clear marking of mandatory and auxiliary inputs, expected units and types, and even the purpose of inputs or outputs, such as "File with load conditions".

In a recent release, we introduced the ability to add custom, user-defined labels to the input and output ports of workflows. Furthermore, the deployment administrator can create presets for these labels, allowing users to select the relevant one and only enter the necessary values.

These labels are visible in the platform's UI and are available via the REST API for parsing and use in external systems.
