name) and set the value of all runtime parameters that may occur in the template.
If a runtime parameter is defined in a template, but not set in the task properties, an error will be
raised. Note that it is not possible to change a parameter's type here; that can only be set in the
template itself.
At runtime, Workflow passes the parameter values as strings, and the type defined in the tem-
plate will be used to try and parse the input parameter value. In order to make this work: Boolean
values need to be entered as either “true” or “false”. (When the comparison actually occurs, it will
be a full Boolean comparison. Thus it can compare this runtime parameter with Boolean data val-
ues that are stored as 0/1 in data fields.) Numeric string values need to be parseable as a num-
ber (either a whole integer or decimal value). Dates should be in an ISO8601 compatible format
(e.g. 2019-10-15) or use the current Windows Locale date settings options. The latter is not
recommended as it requires all computers in the cluster have the same locale data format.

address can include a port number. This information should be available from your IT staff.
l
Send emails to sender (test mode): Check to ignore the email address from each record and
send all emails to the address entered in the Sender Address field instead.
l
Precedence to template address: If the sender's address is given in the template, that address
gets precedence over the one specified here.
l
Use encryption (TLS): Check to connect to the SMTP server using TLS 1.2 (Transport Layer
Security, also called "SSL").
l
Use Authentication group: Check to enable authentication to the SMTP server.
