Displaying additional information on User Input form.

Greetings,

 

My colleagues and I are discussing how to best display additional information to the WFA operator as they execute a workflow. 

 

Our use case is around resizing a volume. We want to show the WFA operator how much aggregate capacity is available and/or how much the aggregate is overcommitted as they execute a Volume Resize workflow. We currently have a User Input of Type query and "Lock Values" to show the data we want. 

 

Some parameters of our discussion:

  1. You can still attempt to modify a query field that has "Lock Values" selected. 
  2. We can validate overcommit/available capacity during execution but would like to warn the WFA operator at input time.
  3. Are there better ways to show non-input values during user input?

Looking forward to hearing ideas. 🙂

 

Test_Vol_Resize.dar from WFA 4.0 attached for fun.
