The Orchestrator Help Page
The Help page provides access to a number of key information resources for Orchestrator like template workflows, descriptions of the plugins, and a test environment for API endpoints.
At the top-right corner of the page, click Admin > Help Center.
Plugins and Workflows
Click Plugins or Workflows to see a complete list with descriptions. You can filter the display be entering a search string in the Search box. This returns a list all plugins or workflows that have a name matching the search string or have tags that match the provided search string.
- Workflows displays a list of preconfigured Workflows for various
purposes. Each workflow displays search term buttons that link to the associated plugins. To the
right of each workflow is a view icon and a download icon. The View icon shows the image of the
workflow as it appears in the workflow designer. Clicking the Download icon downloads the workflow
to your system so that you can import it (see Importing a Workflow). Note: These workflows do not run "as is", because there will be dependencies (for example, a remote node), but they will run after proper configuration.
- Plugins displays complete a list of plugin in the system. Click the "Example" icon at the right to view all preconfigured workflows that use that particular plugin.
