Workflows

A workflow can consist of one or more tasks. In most cases a workflow consists of a collection of tasks organized in the order that you will use them to complete a project or job. Each task contains the tools you need to complete the task.

In order to create a workflow you must:

  • Create and store it in a DGN library (a file with the extension .dgnlib)
  • Make sure that the .dgnlib file is stored with the configured DGN library files, that is, in the location specified by the MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST configuration variable.

Workflows are created and managed the same way as tasks, on the Tasks tab in the Customize dialog. The only difference is that a workflow's Treat Task as Workflow property is set to True and it has a different icon in the Customize dialog:



Like tasks, workflows can be referenced in other tasks and workflows. Referenced workflows have a Workflow icon with a small arrow on it.
