Hello There!
Could someone point me to the documentation on using input parameters. The parameters I'm referring too are the ones where during setup wizard (when you specify the reservation duration, etc.) you can get a drop down menu with different options.
What I'm trying to do is have two separation device configurations for the same lab. Depending on what the user needs, they can pick the appropriate configuration from the dropdown. This means I'll need to have access to whichever input parameter they've picked in the resource driver so I can apply the correct config. We are using Authoring style drivers, so I'm wondering if this data could be grabbed from the TestShell API?
Any help on this would be much appreciated!
Thanks!!
Jacob

Hi Jacob,
What you are looking for is the published Blueprint Global inputs, the documantation can be found here:
And yes you can access that information from the API using the : GetReservationInput method (http://help.quali.com/Online%20Help/8.1/TestShell-API/TestShell%20API%20Library.html#GetReservationInputs)
Or simply from the Sandbox context matrix you get in the authoring driver called globalInputs which is auto-populated when during the driver runtime

Hi @jacoadam
You can start with these two links:
The dev guide (although python based) is talking about accessing the user inputs. An Authoring setup will have the same details provided to you (global inputs in this case): https://qualisystems.github.io/devguide/orchestration/8.1.0/getting-information-from-cloudshell.html
More about user inputs:
