Get User Input

Is there a way to get user input during an activity? An example would be if I create an activity using the Device.CLI.Modify Config type to change some passwords, I would like to open a dialog box asking for the new password. Right now I am hardcoding these into the configuration lines, but would like to prompt for the password instead.

TIA,

Rick

Hi Rick,

There is no way to do this by default. In the Device.CLI.Modify config activity on the options tab you can specify to read the commands from file. If you set up the name of the file using filename variables then each device can have its own file containing its own list of commands.

Alternatively you may be able to do this using custom scripting although I have never tried this with prompting for user input.
