• Internal Name - The workflow type internal name.

• Description - The workflow type description.

• Persistence Days - If the persistence type is Temporary, the number of days from the time a workflow of this workflow type completes before its status audit trail can be purged.

• Selector - The selector/callback function that determines which process activity to run for the workflow type in a particular situation.
