Info

This feature can be disabled and hidden from the workflow builder by setting the following dark feature: comalatech.workflows.migration.translator.enabled

The workflow cloud compatible JSON can be copied and then added to a cloud site space using the app workflow code editor in cloud.

As some product features in Cloud are different to data center/server, the workflow builder cloud translator will not translate all the elements and parameters of the data center/server workflow into a cloud compatible JSON workflow.

...

Choose the Workflow Translator button to view the current workflow.
