ArcGIS Arcade expressions allow you to create placeholders for dynamic properties in job templates and the steps and paths in your workflow diagrams. For example, the Run GP Service step can be configured to use the jobLocation($job) Arcade expression as an input parameter that's replaced with the job's location when the step is run.
The following is a list of ArcGIS Workflow Manager components that support ArcGIS Arcade expressions:
- Job templates
- Paths
- Step templates
The following table contains a list of ArcGIS Arcade expressions that can be used in Workflow Manager:
