Creating workflows

Creating a workflow in FilesWorkflow is a straightforward process that allows you to combine multiple tasks for efficient file processing. Here's how to create a workflow:

1. Accessing the Creation Page:

   • Click "Create" in the top navigation bar from any page, or

   • Navigate to "My Services / Workflows" and click "+Create"

2. Workflow Setup:

   • Name: Enter a descriptive name for your workflow

   • Description: Provide a detailed explanation of the workflow's purpose and function

   • Visibility: Choose between "Public" or "Private"

3. Adding Tasks:

   • Click "+ Add Task" to open the Tasks Gallery

   • Browse through "My Tasks" and "Official Tasks"

   • Use the search function to find specific tasks among all public tasks

   • If needed, create a new task directly from this interface (refer to the "Creating Custom Task" guide for details)

4. Configuring Tasks:

   • After adding a task to your workflow, you can modify its default parameters

   • Use the "Allow users to modify params" option to control whether users can adjust parameters when running the workflow

5. Finalizing the Workflow:

   • Once all desired tasks are added and configured, click the "Create" button to finalize your workflow

6. Testing (for Browser-Task Workflows):

   • If all tasks in the workflow are browser-tasks, you can run an online test directly from the creation interface

7. Using and Sharing:

   • After creation, your workflow is ready to use

   • You can share it with others if set to public

   • Even private workflow can be shared with other members of your organization

Remember, the order of tasks in your workflow is crucial as each task's output becomes the input for the next task.
