Create a workflow
The creation wizard
To start creating a new workflow, select the plus button in the upper toolbar of the dashboard, then choose Workflow project.
In the New workflow dialog enter the mandatory workflow name and, optionally, a description, then select Create workflow. A wizard starts.
In Workflow pattern, the first step of the wizard, you can choose between:
- A workflow preset (Sequential or Parallel)
- A custom workflow
If you choose a workflow preset, select Next, otherwise select Create workflow to end the wizard and start drawing the new workflow from scratch in the editor.
In case of a workflow preset, the next step, Processor, asks you to select an optional pre-processor to put in the workflow before the model.
Once you have made your choice, select Next.
If you chose the sequential pattern, the next step asks you to select the model to include in the sequence.
You can include more models later by editing the workflow, if needed.
If you chose the parallel pattern, you can select multiple models that will be used in parallel thanks to the fork and the join operators.
Note
Available models are only those that have been previously published from within Platform projects or those that were uploaded or pre-installed.
Once you have chosen the model (or models), select Next.
The last step of the wizard, Operator, lets you choose an optional processor to put after the model.
Once you have made your choice, select Create workflow to end the wizard.
At the end of the wizard, the editor opens, showing the pre-built workflow.
Import a workflow
To import a workflow that was previously created elsewhere and exported:
