The three leftmost columns gather the workflow meta data: Valid, ID, and Name. A workflow table always contains these columns. The ID is automatically generated starting at 1. The ID is unique within the workflow configuration. The Name is generated based on the ID, for example, 'Workflow_1'. The names can be edited, however, if two workflows have exactly the same name a validation error will occur.

The workflow table is populated depending on settings made in the Workflow Properties dialog, in the  Workflow Table tab. For example, adding rows and field type settings is done there and will propagate changes in the workflow table.

Apart from the three first columns, columns in the table represent fields of Default and Per Workflow type. See Workflow Properties (4.23) for further information about the field types.

Search

Allows you to search the text of all columns. The Valid column is excluded from the search as it only have icons for values.

Add workflow

Creates a new workflow by adding a row into the workflow table. The button opens the Add Workflow dialog and allows you to rename the workflow. If you have set some of the agent configuration to be configurable per workflow in

the 

the Workflow Properties (4.

2

3) then you will be able to configure those fields.

Export

Opens an export dialog where you select and save workflow configurations in a file. With this export file you transfer and update workflow table data either on your current machine or on a different client. The export file can be created in the following format:

  • .csv

The .csv export file contains a header row, comma (,) delimited fields, and text values that are delimited by a quotation mark (").

Exported fields that contain profiles are given a unique string identifier. The ID and Name fields are exported as well.

In the export file, External References are enclosed in braces ({}) and preceded by a dollar symbol ($), for example ${OUTPUT_DIR}. For further information see External Reference (4.

3).

Import

Opens an import dialog where you can import an exported file. This file might contain, for example, data that has been saved in the workflow table, locally or on a different client. This command supports the following file format:

  • .csv

Selecting Keep old workflows will result in the contents of the file being appended into the workflow table.

Selecting Save before import will save the workflow configuration before proceeding with the import. This is so you can rollback to the previous version in case the import goes wrong.

Importing a table may result in any of the following scenarios:

  1. If the ID number of the imported workflow (a table row), is identical to the ID number of one of the rows that are already in the table, the imported entry overwrites the existing one.

  2. If the ID number of the imported workflow is -1, the imported entry is added to the bottom of the table.

Note!

The system keeps track of the number of rows that are added to the workflow table using a row counter. If the row counter number is 98, and the imported Workflow's ID is -1, the imported workflow is stored with 99 as the ID number

  1. If the ID number of the imported workflow does not exist in the table and is not equal to -1, the imported entry is added to the table. The ID number remains the same number as it was in the import file.
