Workflows

Workflows can be installed and managed using the Workflow Manager in the Workbench. See figure 5.1.

The Workflow Manager can be invoked by choosing the option Manage Workflows... when you click on the Workflows button at the top right of the Workbench toolbar, or from under the Utilities menu.

Workflows are installed on a per-user basis in CLC Workbenches. The workflow definition is stored in the user's home area (see User-level information).

The ability to install workflows in a CLC Workbench can be disabled using an entry in a policy.properties file.

Workflows can also be installed on a CLC Server. By default, all users logged into the server from their Workbench then have access to such workflows. Access to each can be restricted to designated groups by a server administrator.
