Checklist Parameters
When you create a checklist from a template that has parameters, CheckFlow asks you for their values first. This page covers what you see at that moment.
Parameters themselves — creating them, choosing a type, and binding them to controls or task assignments — are set up in the template. See Template Parameters.
The Create & Run Prompt
Every parameter on the template appears in the Create & Run New Checklist prompt, in the order they were defined.
In the example above the template has two parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Bound to |
|---|---|---|
| Account Manager | Member or Group | The task assignments |
| Subscription Plan | String | The Subscription Plan control |
Account Manager arrives pre-selected, because the parameter has a default value set in the template. You can accept it or change it.
What Happens to the Values
The values you supply are applied as the checklist is created — controls are pre-filled and task assignments are made — and the checklist then behaves as if someone had entered them by hand.
Parameters are never required. Leaving one empty is allowed, and the binding is simply not applied: the control keeps whatever default it had and the assignment is not made. There is no warning, so if a value matters, set a default on the parameter in the template.
