Workflow parameters

Now that we understand some of the basics of how Orchestrator programming works, we will look at the different types of parameters that exist.

Parameter types

There are many variable types that are already implemented in Orchestrator out of the box, but the basic variable types are as follows:

Variable type	Description
any	This can contain any content. It is used to carry variables to the other elements that are not defined in the Orchestrator GUI, such as XML. Note that Any should only be used if nothing else will do, as it has been known to mishandle some content such as complex variables.
boolean	This has only two values, either true or false. However, Orchestrator uses Yes and No in the GUI.
credential	This contains a username and password. The password is encrypted.
date	This is used to store the date or time in the JavaScript format.
number	This contains only numbers, which can be integers or real numbers. Everything is stored as floats in Orchestrator...
