The Workflow Manager shows all your workflows based on your logged in portal. It allows for searching, categorizing, filtering, and editing of your workflows. To open the Workflow Manager, click the Studio Workflow Manager icon .

Not all Workflow activities are supported in Studio Desktop. When creating a workflow in the Workflow Designer, ensure the deployment environment is set to VertiGIS Studio Desktop for ArcGIS Pro. The Toolbox will show the number of available activities for this environment.

Execute Studio Workflows

A workflow can be initiated directly from the Workflow List. Optionally, the workflow can be started with a selection used as input. The selection can be made via the map or the attribute table.

In Debugger Mode, workflows can only be started via the Workflow Manager. Debugger Mode must be turned off to use workflows via Entry Points. See Workflow Debugger.

To execute a workflow:

1.Locate and click the workflow to run in the Workflow List.

2.Optionally, if the workflow requires an input from a selection, click Use selection as input. You can make a selection either via the map or attribute table.

3.Click the play icon to launch the workflow.

 

Use selection as input is currently used for a single selection. If the workflow requires the use of multiple selections, this should be designed within the Studio Workflow Designer as a selection step.
