Flow of Workflow - Parameters, Presentation, Predefined List of Elements.

This is an amazing group.  My questions have been answered for the most part and have been very helpful.  I have just started using Orchestrator  since Dec.  Knowledge I have gotten has all been trial and error and this group.  I have been able to figure most things out, more importantly I have been able to figure out HOW and WHY the solutions I have gotten from here work.  One area I am having trouble with is with Presentation.  Maybe because I have only used Presentation limited basis.  What I have used is creating drop down boxes or check boxes a few times.  Those have been using the Predefined list of elements, calling an action and there I am lost. Not sure what the flow is.  I see what I was told to do - I am just not grasping the HOW or WHY it works.  I see the components of the action and the Presentation calling the action, but it is just not clear. 

 

An example that I am working with is I have an input parameter called ISO (it is a string).  I know that I need to configure the Presentation components.  Just not sure how (more importantly the why).  The goal is that I want a dropdown list of ISO filenames.  Those files will be contained in an array.  That array is created by compiling a list of filenames on [DatastoreName]ISOFILES\

 

I think I am close, but the structure of the flow in how Predefined List of Elements works.  I have created one (with this groups help) and it works great.  I am just not sure why it works.  The one I created in the past allows me to select multiple VMs.  The predefined list of element for Select Virtual Machines (my Input parameter) the value is GetAction("com.test.vmudate","getDynamicVMS").call(#VMs)

 

My limited knowledge states that it is calling action getDynamicVMS from the com.test.vmupdate module.  As far as what call(#VMs) is, I have no idea.  Again, thanks so much for the help.
