    Workflow management

    Create, edit, validate, and publish workflows to automate multi-step processes across the platform. Understand workflow activities and variables and how to use them effectively. Take a deeper look at how workflows are constructed, validated, and used.

    • Create a workflow

      Automate a multi-step process by creating a workflow with the Workflow Editor.

    • Work on workflows

      To complete a workflow, you add workflow activities, validate the workflow, and publish it.

    • Workflows used as subflows

      A workflow can launch another workflow as an activity.

    • Using variables in a workflow

      Within workflow there are several different types of variables that are available.

    • Workflow catalog variables

      Workflows that are associated with the Requested Item [sc_req_item] table have a specific type of workflow input.

    • Workflow events

      The system employs two types of events: registered platform events and workflow events.

    • Workflow stages

      Workflows can indicate workflow progress by updating any field designated as a stage field.

    • Workflow validation

      Workflow validation examines different characteristics of a workflow to locate issues that might prevent the workflow from being published or cause it to fail. The validation report summarizes the results of each separate workflow validation.
