ArcGIS Arcade expressions allow you to create placeholders for dynamic properties in job templates and the steps and paths in your workflow diagrams. For example, the Run GP Service step can be configured to use the jobLocation($job) Arcade expression as an input parameter that's replaced with the job's location when the step is run.
Tipp:
You can also use the Arcade Date and Text functions to convert the output of an Arcade expression to a string and optionally change its format. For example, the Text(Date(jobEndDate($job)), 'dddd, MMMM D, Y') Arcade expression converts the job's end date from 1589414631 (epoch) to Thursday, May 14, 2020.

Test Arcade expressions
You can test the Arcade expressions used for step inputs and paths in your workflow diagrams to ensure that they are returning the values you expect. Complete these steps to test the values of Arcade expressions for an existing job in Workflow Manager:
- Choose the job that contains the Arcade expressions you want to test on the Work or Manage page.
Learn more about searching for jobs
Hinweis:
If you want to test the output value of a step, the step must be completed before you can test the output value.
- Expand the Details panel if necessary.
- Click the
button on the Details panel and click Show Job Id. - Copy the job ID.
- Edit the job's workflow diagram to access the Diagram Settings panel.
Hinweis:
If the Diagram Settings panel isn't available, click a blank area of the workflow canvas.
- In the Diagram Settings panel, in the Evaluate Arcade Expression section, paste the job ID that you copied in the Job ID text box.
- Type the Arcade expression you want to test in the Arcade Expression text box.
- Click Preview to test the Arcade expression.
- Repeat steps 7 through 8 as necessary to test additional Arcade expressions.
