Session Custom Properties

The Session Custom Properties tab is a place to create a specific user interface for Session Manager with the use of custom code. It allows organizations to add metadata to the adaptive card used for sessions in order to store high-level attributes for each session. These properties are stored along with the session, and are maintained throughout the workflow.

Custom Properties leverage the Microsoft technology called Adaptive Cards.

To get started working with Adaptive Cards:

• We strongly encourage you to visit the Adaptive Cards help to learn more about the technology.

  • In particular, read the Tools and Samples help topics. They provide examples and a syntax validator.

On Microsoft’s Designer | Adaptive Cards website, users can use a WYSIWYG form to create adaptive cards that automatically create the .json code. Users copy and paste that code into the Session Adaptive Card.

After the .json code is added to the Session Adaptive Card, and a user clicks the Save button, the code is automatically validated, and the code is saved at the tenant level. Only one Session Adaptive Card is available per tenant.

Once the edits on the Session Adaptive Card are saved, the updates are reflected in both Solution Center and Editor XI.

Now that you have added new session variables, you can learn more about how they can be implemented in a workflow on the Workflows plugin documentation.
