This example uses the `Constant value` data set for the `Get RunAs Connection` activity, which uses a connection object for authentication. A [pipeline link](automation-graphical-authoring-intro.md#links-and-workflow) is used here since the `ServicePrincipalCertificate` parameter set is expecting a single object.

Checkpoints are only enabled in graphical PowerShell Workflow runbooks, and are not available in graphical runbooks. If the runbook uses Azure cmdlets, it should follow any checkpointed activity with a `Connect-AzAccount` activity. The connect operation is used in case the runbook is suspended and must restart from this checkpoint on a different worker.
A runbook requires input either from a user starting the runbook through the Azure portal or from another runbook, if the current one is used as a child. For example, for a runbook that creates a virtual machine, the user might need to provide such information as the name of the virtual machine and other properties each time the runbook starts.

## Work with PowerShell expressions

One of the advantages of graphical authoring is that it allows you to build a runbook with minimal knowledge of PowerShell. Currently, though, you do need to know a bit of PowerShell for populating certain [parameter values](#activities) and for setting [link conditions](#links-and-workflow). This section provides a quick introduction to PowerShell expressions. Full details of PowerShell are available at [Scripting with Windows PowerShell](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/bb978526.aspx).

You can use a PowerShell expression as a data source to populate the value of an [activity parameter](#activities) with the results of PowerShell code. The expression can be a single line of code that performs a simple function or multiple lines that perform some complex logic. Any output from a command that is not assigned to a variable is output to the parameter value.

Runbooks in Orchestrator accept input parameters with the `Initialize Data` activity. If the runbook being converted includes this activity, then an [input parameter](automation-graphical-authoring-intro.md#runbook-input-and-output) in the Azure Automation runbook is created for each parameter in the activity. A [Workflow Script control](automation-graphical-authoring-intro.md#activities) activity is created in the converted runbook that retrieves and returns each parameter. Any activities in the runbook that use an input parameter refer to the output from this activity.

The reason that this strategy is used is to best mirror the functionality in the Orchestrator runbook. Activities in new graphical runbooks should refer directly to input parameters using a Runbook input data source.
