Template workflows

Template workflows are provided as example workflows (figure 12.59). They can be launched as they are from the Toolbox, or copies can be easily opened, allowing you to optimize the workflow to fit your specific application.

After making a copy and editing it, you can run the workflow from the editor, or you can create an installer and install the workflow to your CLC Workbench or CLC Server.

Opening a template workflow for viewing or editing

To open a template workflow to view the design or edit it, you can:

Locking down settings and installing workflows

You can specify which settings can be adjusted when launching a workflow, and which cannot, by unlocking or locking parameters in workflow elements. Unlocked parameters can be adjusted when launching the workflow. For locked parameters, the value specified in the design is always used when the workflow is run.

Installed workflows cannot be edited directly, so by locking settings, and installing the workflow, you create a customized version of a template workflow, validated for your purposes, where you know exactly the settings that will be used for each workflow run.
