The parameter descriptions properties file consists of common parameters and activity specific parameters. It contains of a set of key value pairs which is stored as a resource. Each key uniquely identifies a property and the value represents a description of the parameter in the local language.

There are two types of keys used in parameter descriptions properties file

Key for common parameters: The common parameters are common to several activities. For example, AsynProcessIndicator and InDocument are the common parameters. The parameter name is used as a key for storing common parameters description. 
For example, 
the InDocument will be the key for the InDocument parameter. There can currently be only one document.

Note: The property will be represented in local language (For example, English) as InDocument=The document to process in the workflow.

Key for activity specific parameters: The key for an activity specific parameter is formed by concatenating the activity action type and the parameter name separated by a period namely, <Action type>.<Parameter name>.
For example, 
If the parameter name is ParticipantName and the action type is CreateWorkItem, the key will be CreateWorkItem.ParticipantName.

Note: The property will be represented in local language (for example, English) as CreateWorkItem.ParticipantName= Specifies the name of participants for whom workitems were created.
