Inserting a workflow definition

You can insert workflow definitions into the current workflow collection.

About this task

Your FileNet® license agreement determines the level of functionality that you see in Process Designer. As a consequence, some of the options that described here might not be available for your system. See your system administrator for more information.

You can add either a new, empty workflow, or an existing workflow into the current workflow collection. The name of each workflow that you insert is displayed as a tab at the top of the work area. You access the one you want to work on by clicking the tab. When you save the workflow collection by using options on the File menu, all workflow definitions are saved in a single XPDL file.

Procedure

To insert a workflow into the current workflow definition:

To insert a new or saved workflow definition into the current workflow definition, do the following actions:
  1. From the File menu, choose Insert and select the workflow type to insert: New, Local Workflow, or Workflow from Repository.
  2. If you are inserting an existing workflow definition (local or from a repository), locate the file in either your local disk or from your object store.
    Note: You can import only PEP files that contain an individual workflow definition; you cannot import an XPDL file.
