Creating a Concert workflow

Before you begin

  • You must install Concert workflows add-on to an OCP cluster or virtual machine. Refer to Installing Concert Workflows for instructions.
  • You must have authenticated the connection with the external tools and services referenced in the workflow.
  • Alternatively, you can import existing workflows defined in a separate Rapid Network Automation instance. Refer to Importing a Concert workflow.

  1. In the Concert UI, click Workflows > Manage from the main navigation.
  2. Click Create workflow.
  3. Enter name for the workflow.
  4. Enter a workflow description for internal reference.
  5. Select the layout type to use in the workflow editor:
    • Flow layout
    • Flat layout
  6. Click Create.
