Sample Workflows

The Advanced Workflow Engine Task Designer comes with several sample Workflows to demonstrate how to create a Workflow. The comments in the Workflow provide instructions. The sample files are stored in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\GlobalSCAPE\EFT Server Enterprise\AWE. When you create a Site, a copy of the sample file is saved prepended with the Site's name. For example, Sample - _README FIRST_.aml is saved as MySite_Sample - _README FIRST_.aml.

To view the sample Workflows

  1. In EFT Administrator, connect to EFT Server and click the Server tab.

  2. In the left pane, expand the Site node for the Site that you want to configure, then click the Advanced Workflow node. The node expands to show the Sample Workflows.

  3. In the left pane, click a sample Workflow. The right pane displays the properties of the selected Workflow.

  4. In the right pane, click Edit. The Advanced Workflow Engine Task Designer appears.

  5. View the red text in the Steps (right) pane for instructions on how to configure the Workflow. Use this guidance to create similar Workflows.

  6. If you want to save your changes in the sample Workflow, click Update and Close. The .aml file is overwritten with your changes.

There is no "Save As" function in the Designer, but you can copy and paste the steps from one Workflow into another..

If you have accidentally overwritten a sample Workflow and you want to revert to the Site's version of the sample file, you can copy the original in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\GlobalSCAPE\EFT Server Enterprise\AWE and save it with the Site's name, as described above.

You can also create an Event Rule to periodically back up the folder that contains your custom Workflows.
