Configuring Inputs and Outputs via the Web Application

Usage

This is a fairly recent feature that was added to version 3.5 of Scrummage, which may raise the question why it hasn't always been available. The reason being mainly that Scrummage was made available through docker in version 3.5, which also means the cloud implementation is more likely. With cloud implementations it is necessary to be able to configure through the web application due to inaccessibility to the server running the web service.

Even if you have an on-premise implementation of Scrummage, this feature makes it very simple to configure inputs needed to run tasks, outputs to send results to on top of the main Scrummage database, and core web application settings.

Configuring Task Inputs

3. The next window displays the required fields, add the missing details and click Update:

4. If you enter all fields correctly, you will be redirected to the settings page, and a pop up will appear confirming the update was successful:

5. Finally, you can verify your changes by either selecting the "Check Inputs" option, in the pane on the left hand side of the account settings page, or by navigating to https://<YOURSCRUMMAGEIPORHOST>:5000/tasks/inputs/check.
   

Configuring Output Locations for Results

From now on, all results created will be stored in a plugin-specific report that will be accessible from each result created, in the results details.
