Workflow Help

Click Search to enter a search string in the search box. This returns a list all the plugins and workflows that have a name matching the search string or have tags that match the provided search string. Additionally, for all the plugins that are returned as results, all the sample workflows that use that plugin are displayed.

Click Workflows for list of preconfigured Workflows for various purposes. Each workflow contains links to the associate 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 will not run "as is", because there will be dependencies (for example, a remote node), but they will run upon proper configuration.
