- Left panel: The tree allows to navigate to folders and objects. Workflows can be available in any folder from the sub-folder Workflows.
- Middle panel: The design view allows to drag & drop JS7 - Workflow Instructions from the tool panel to a workflow.
- Right panel: The property editor allows to manage the properties of instructions such as jobs that are available with a workflow.
Drag and Drop
The middle panel holds a toolbar with icons for the respective JS7 - Workflow Instructions.
From the toolbar the first instruction icon for a Job can be dragged and dropped to the indicated area:
- From the toolbar the icon is used to add a Job.
- The dropping area has to be touched with the cursor, not with the Job icon.
To further add instructions to a workflow, for example a second Job, the Job is dropped to the connector line before or after the existing job.
- The connector line has to be touched with the cursor, not with the Job icon.
Adding Fork/Join Instruction Branches
When a JS7 - Fork / Join Instruction is dragged and dropped then users can add branches for jobs that run in parallel.
- From the toolbar the icon is used to add a Fork/Join Instruction.
- In a first step an empty block for Fork and Join is created.
To add a branch an instructions, for example a Job, the icon can be dragged and dropped directly onto the Fork icon.
- The Fork icon has to be touched with the cursor, not with the icon for the Job that should be added.
When the operation to drag and drop a Job directly onto the Fork icon is repeated then each time an additional branch is created like this:
To add jobs to an existing branch users can drag and drop the icon to the connector line before or after an instruction such as a job in a branch like this:
Adding If Instruction Branches
Adding a JS7 - If Instruction to a workflow allows to perform conditional execution of jobs and further instructions.
- From the toolbar the icon is used to add an If Instruction.
- In a first step an empty block for If and If-End is created.
- The property editor allows to specify the predicate of the If Instruction, i.e. the condition.
To add a branch to the If Instruction, for example a Job, the icon can be dragged and dropped directly onto the Fork icon
When the operation to drag and drop a Job directly onto the If icon is repeated then a second branch for the If Instruction is created like this:
- The left branch is processed if the condition evaluates to true, the right branch is processed if it evaluates to false.
- The icon has to be touched with the cursor, not with the Job icon.
JSON Object Editor
JS7 stores scheduling objects in JSON format. Users can display and can modify the JSON representation of objects such as workflows from the object's action menu:

Job Script Editor
The JOC Cockpit Configuration->Inventory View offers the Script Editor for modification of job scripts:
- Job scripts can be directly edited from the multiline input field in the lower right corner of the property editor.
- When moving the mouse into the job script input field then the pencil icon is displayed. Clicking this icon invokes the Script Editor.
The Job Script Editor is explained in more detailed with JS7 - Job Script Editor.
