It is possible to 'call' a Workflow inside of a Workflow with the Workflow Unit. This is especially useful to structure your main Workflow and to reduce the (visual) complexity of it. A Workflow which is called via a Workflow Unit can be used like a standard Unit by defining Input and Output Ports.


Using the Workflow Unit

There are two ways of using the Workflow Unit.

Using the Context Menu

  1. Select the Units you want to put into a separate Workflow
  2. Right click one of the selected Units and select Create Workflow Unit from selection.
  3. You will be asked to give a name to the new Workflow.
  4. The Units are moved into a separate Workflow and a Workflow Unit is automatically created and placed into you current Workflow. If there were any connections to the respective Units, the Input and Output Ports are automatically created and connected.

Using the Workflow Unit

  1. Add a new Workflow to your Project.
  2. Add the desired Units to this new Workflow.
  3. Publish Inputs/Outputs.
  4. Select the Workflow which will call the previously created Workflow.
  5. Add a Workflow Unit.
  6. Select the desired Workflow in the Workflow drop-down menu
  7. Once selected the Workflow Unit will change its appearance and shows the Inputs/Outputs as well as a preview of the selected Workflow.



Editing the Workflow Unit

There are two ways to edit the Workflow of a Workflow Unit.

Editing the Workflow directly

  1. Click the tab of the the Workflow you want to edit. If the respective tab is not vissible, open the Workflow first by using the Workflows List in the Project Panel.
  2. Do your edits.
  3. Head back to the previous Workflow by clicking its tab. The Preview will have changed accordingly to your changes and Input/Output Ports are also updated (if they were changed).

Editing the Workflow via the Workflow Unit Preview

  1. Double click the Workflow Preview on the Workflow Unit.
  2. Do your edits.
  3. Head back to the previous Workflow by clicking its tab. The Preview will have changed accordingly to your changes and Input/Output Ports are also updated (if they were changed).
