Introduction

Workflows implement jobs and dependencies for workload automation. Orders are triggers that cause the execution of workflows.

  • The Configuration View offers a graphical design view from the JS7 - Workflow Editor.
  • The Workflows View offers a tactical view that can be used to monitor the processing of orders with workflows in near real-time and perform interventions if required.

Orders in a workflow can be started from specific positions and can be made to end with specific positions:

Start Position and End Positions of Orders in a Workflow

When adding orders from JS7 - Schedules and from the Workflows view and when modifying orders in the JS7 - Daily Plan then they can be assigned

  • a start position in the workflow:
    • users can select a later instruction, for example a job in a workflow, from which the order will start,
    • any top-level instructions can be selected.
  • any number of end positions in the workflow:
    • more than one position can be selected,
    • any top-level instructions can be selected.

Note: The start position and end positions specify the instructions in a workflow before which an order will start or complete.

The popup window for adding orders allows to select the start position and end positions.

  • For the end positions users can click any number of top-level instructions at which the order will complete the workflow.
    • A first click selects the position.
    • A second click unselects the position.
