Orchestrator client - right click on item in Inventory to run workflow

I have workflows that take type X as a parameter.  The workflows are ones I have written and the type X is an Object I have created.  I have items of type X in the Inventory.  I right click on the item and select "Run workflow...".  I get the error "NoSuchElementException".  I have tried turning up the log level and looking in the logs, but I can see no helpful information on why this is failing.  I can find no documentation that explicitly tells me everything needed to run workflows from the inventory.  I have looked through the vso.xml for the vSphere plugin and can see nothing special there that I'm not doing.  I can't find anything in the workflows that controls this behavior.  I have put breakpoints in find() findAll() findRelation() and can see no calls there during the attempt.

Any ideas?

In your workflow presentation for your Object type that is an input, did you specify the property "Show in Inventory" ?

That was the missing piece!  Thanks!  I would have never found that.
