Sample Workflows

Advanced Workflows 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:\ProgramData\Globalscape\EFT Server in a database file named SiteConfig.<GUID> file (one for each Site).

To view the sample workflows

  1. In the EFT administration interface, connect to EFT 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 AdvancedWorkflows 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. Do one of the following to open the workflow in the Task Builder:

    • In the right pane, click Edit.

    • In the left pane, double-click the workflow.

  5. View the comments in the Steps pane for instructions on how to configure the workflow. Use this guidance to create similar workflows.

  6. If you want to save the sample workflow with your changes, click Save and Close. The workflow is saved in C:\ProgramData\Globalscape\EFT Server in a database file named SiteConfig.<GUID> file.

If you have accidentally overwritten a sample workflow and you want to revert to the original version of the sample file, you can copy the original from the default location (C:\ProgramData\Globalscape\EFT Server\AWE). You could also make a backup copy so you don't lose the original.
