Workflow Builder Navigator Panel

Workflow Builder Navigator Panel

The navigator panel in workflow builder displays the visual workflow diagram showing the workflow states and transitions between the states.

In the navigator panel select a button to edit the workflow, add a state or a workflow parameter.

  • choose the Workflow button to edit the workflow name and description

  • choose the +State button to add a new state to the workflow

  • choose the +Parameter button to add a new workflow parameter

Choose the { } button to switch to the code editor.

The code editor when accessed from workflow builder also includes these option buttons to allow easy switching between the code editor and the visual editor.

After editing the workflow choose

  • Saved option to save changes in workflow builder visual editor

  • Exit to return to the space settings document management dashboard

Choosing Exit without previously selecting Saved will not update the workflow in the document management dashboard.

Navigator panel state lozenges

Each state lozenge in the visual diagram can be selected to open the state editor in the workflow panel for the chosen state.

This also changes the navigator panel display to include the State edit button and option buttons to add a Transition or an Approval.

The state can be edited in this panel to

  • change the state name

  • add or edit the state description

  • set an expiry date for the state

  • set the state as a final state in the workflow

You can also choose to add and edit transitions and/or approvals for the state using the state editor.
