Now you see a list of your workflows:
First you need to click the WORKFLOW ribbon in the top of your browser session to view the workflows:
You can delete a workflow by placing the mouse over the workflow, that you want to delete, and then click this icon on the very right:
To edit an existing workflow, you simply (left) click on the workflow, that you want to edit, and then the contents of the workflow is shown:
On the workflow you can edit either the workflow headings or the components of the workflow.
The headings of a workflow are edited in two places:
1. General headings
General headings are edited by clicking on the pencil icon:
On the very top (next to the workflow name), while editing the workflow.
Here you can edit the group and description of the workflow:
Specific workflow input settings related to the specific input type of the workflow can be edited if you double (left) click on the leftmost (green) icon of the workflow:
Now the current input settings are shown, and you can change them:
(The parameters vary depending on the selected input type).
For that you have these options:
1.You can copy a complete workflow.
2.You can copy a specific node of a workflow
3.You can copy a complete sub-tree of a workflow.
This section covers option 2 and 3.
To copy a node or a sub-tree you first need to edit your workflow.
To copy a node or a sub-tree you place the mouse pointer over the box/node, that you want to edit. Then this appears:
If you click this, then a pop-up window appears:
Here you can now select either:
Copy node to clipboard, if you want to copy on the selected node.
or
Copy sub-tree to clipboard, if you want to copy the selected node and the sub-tree (any node connected to the right side of the current node).
After this you now have one or more nodes in the clipboard.
To insert (or paste) the nodes from the clipboard into a workflow, then you need to click the '+' icon, where you want to insert/paste the nodes:
Now a pop-up window is shown and here you can choose to paste/insert the nodes in the clipboard:
It is possible to delete components/nodes in a workflow. To do that you first need to edit the workflow.
Now you can delete either a single node or a complete sub-tree in the workflow.
To do that you need to place the mouse on the node (or top node of the sub-tree) and then click this option:
Now you see this pop-up window:
Here you can choose:
Delete node
To delete the current node (component). This will delete the selected node and connect the sub-tree (nodes to the right of the selected node) with the parent node (the node to the right).
Delete sub-tree
If you select the option, Delete sub-tree, then the selected node and any node in the sub-tree (connected on the right part of the current node) will be deleted.
If you regret a delete, then remember this:
1.The workflow changes are not committed, before you click the save option in the upper right corner:
2.You can at any point undo or redo your latest changes with these two arrows in the top right corner:
The leftmost arrow rolls back the latest change (Undo), and the right arrow inserts the last change, that you rolled back.
The list of all workflow components can be found here.
Now you should see a screen similar to this:
You can add new workflow components anywhere in the workflow if you click this icon:
The type of component, that you can insert depends on the type of payload, that the previous component outputs, so you cannot insert any component in any place.
When you click the + icon you see this:
To find the component, that you are searching for you have two options:
1) Select it directly.
To do that you first select one of the top tabs: BASIC, SHORTCUTS, ADVANCED or WORKFLOW.
The workflow components are ordered in these sections depending on how advanced components are:
The BASIC components are simple components, that are often used.
SHORTCUTS are components, that are more advanced and more seldomly used.
ADVANCED components are very advanced and seldomly used.
WORKFLOW is a list of all other workflows. This is used, if you want to call another workflow from the current workflow.
2) Search for the component
There are a lot of components in InterFormNG2 and we plan to add many more, so it can be a bit hard to quickly find the component, that you want. To help you in your search you can type in search texts in the top of the pop up window above. If you e.g. want to create a PDF file, you can search for pdf and a subset of all components is shown:
When you have found the component, that you want to insert, then you just click on it to insert it at the selected position in your workflow.
If you e.g. want to merge an XML file with a template and create a PDF file in the file system with the result, then you should select 'Create PDF file' by clicking on it. Then the component is inserted, and you are shown all settings of the selected component:
Details of this and the other workflow components can be found here.
