Configure Provider Definition XML

To add new properties

To use new provider properties or fields in a workflow, that property needs to be added in the Provider List Definition. To add a new property or to edit an existing property, follow the steps below:

1. In Central Configuration, go to Repository Provider List.

2. Select the AVEVA Work Tasks List repository and expand it.

3. Access the Definition XML of User Entity by clicking on the Click here option beside User Entity.

4. Add the property for the new field.

   Example:

   <property name="Age" displayname="Age" type="int"/>

   

5. Select Edit the definition XML and click Update.

6. Close the Definition XML.

7. Expand User Entity and access the Definition XML of authenticationuserprovider.

8. Add the property for the new field.

9. Select the option Edit the definition XML and click Update.

10. Expand User Entity and access the Definition XML of authenticationuserprovider.

11. Close the Definition XML.

Performing these steps will ensure all operations can be performed based on the new field added to the User List. If you regenerate the form all the existing properties of the controls of SKAWS_Users form will be overwritten.

Auto Log Off Settings

To enable the Auto Log Off property at the provider level, use the <AutoLogOff> tag in the DefinitionXML and set the auto log off time. For example, <AutoLogOffTime>5</AutoLogOffTime>. Place this tag after the <provider> tag in the DefinitionXML file.

When you define an auto log off time for the repository, ensure the following:

• Enter valid time limit between 1 to 360 minutes. The system does not validate the time entered here, hence if you provide a time beyond the defined limit, you will not be logged out automatically.

• You can map multiple providers to a single repository. When you define the auto log off time both at provider level and repository level, the provider level time set take precedence over the repository level time set.

Note: If the Enterprise Console is opened in the same browser session and the Auto Log Off time is set for the repository, the following error message appears:
The user context is not valid. Please log on to the Enterprise Console and try again.
