Manage Workflows

Manage Workflows

Workflows tab

The Workflows tab in the left pane helps you manage workflows effortlessly. It provides two sections: Waiting for my action and Started by me, ensuring you can keep track of workflows assigned to you and those you’ve initiated.



Accessing the Workflows Tab,
  1. Sign in to your WorkDrive account and navigate to the Workflows tab in the left pane.
  2. Here you'll find two sections: Waiting for my action and Started by me. By default, the Waiting for my action section is displayed.

Waiting for my action

This section lists all files and folders that require your action at the moment. You can also check details such as:
  1. Last modified time
  2. Workflow name
  3. Current state of the workflow

To take action on a workflow:
  1. Hover over the desired workflow.
  2. Click the View activity button. This will open the workflow activity pane, where you can review the workflow's details and choose the appropriate action.

Started by me

The Started by me section allows you to track all the manual workflows you’ve initiated from files or folders, including both active and completed ones. In this view, you can:
  1. Review the start time for each workflow.
  2. Monitor the status and current state of your workflows.

Manage the created Workflows

As an admin or super admin of a WorkDrive team, you can manage all the created workflows across your team. Here you can view, edit, manage, and delete workflows as needed.

Access the Admin Console page and navigate to the Workflows tab. From here, you'll be able to:


View and manage Workflows

The Workflows tab provides an overview of all workflows created for your team, helping you manage and monitor them effectively. Here's what you can find in this section:

Workflow details
  1. Workflow type: Indicates whether the workflow is file-based or folder-based.
  2. Last modified: Displays the most recent modification date of the workflow.
  3. Active records: Shows the total number of files or folders currently associated with the workflow.
  4. Workflow status: Displays whether each workflow is active or inactive.

Activate/Deactivate workflows

Use the toggle switch in the Status column to enable or disable a workflow directly.
Alternatively, select a workflow to open the workflow design window and navigate to the review field. Here, you’ll find an option to activate or deactivate the workflow.

Notes
Notes: 
  1. Your WorkDrive team can have a maximum of 10 active workflows at a time.
  2. When you deactivate a workflow, any active files and folders currently associated with this workflow will exit the workflow immediately. Actions that have already been executed will remain unchanged. However, pending actions in the workflow will not be executed.

Edit Workflows

You can modify and customize your workflows at any time to suit your business requirements. Use the Workflows tab to make the necessary changes.
NotesNote: Workflows cannot be edited while they are active. To make changes, you must first deactivate the workflow.

To edit the name and description of existing workflow:
  1. Hover over the workflow that requires an edit.
  2. Click on the More actions icon and select Edit name & description.
  3. Make necessary changes and click Update.

To edit the workflow:
  1. Click the workflow you want to edit. This will open the workflow design window.
  2. At the bottom of the design window, click Disable and edit workflow. In the confirmation dialog box, select Deactivate.
  3. Make necessary changes in the design window.
  4. Once done, navigate to the Review tab at the top and choose Enable workflow.

Track Workflows

You can monitor all the stages that the file or folder passes through in the workflow. The track function enables you to view the workflow's initiation, its current status, and access the relevant activity reports if necessary.
  1. Hover over the workflow you wish to track for more details.
  2. Click on the More actions icon and choose Track workflow. The Track workflow window will appear, displaying the workflow details.

Delete Workflows

Remove any outdated or unnecessary workflows from your team whenever required.
  1. Hover over the workflow that you want to delete.
  2. Click the More actions icon and select Delete.
  3. Click Delete on the confirmation dialog box.

By utilizing the Workflows tab in the Admin Console, you can efficiently manage and maintain your team's workflows in WorkDrive. This ensures that your workflows are up to date, aligned with your business requirements, and contribute to the smooth operation of your organization.
