AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0

Once you create a workflow, you can add tasks to it. Tasks are discrete steps in your overall process. Each task has the following configurable options:

Task Options

Option

Description

Tool

If needed, you can pick a tool to associate with the task. When a user runs the workflow, the tool can be launched from the workflow step. By default, the AdminStudio tools are included in this list. If you have added tools to the Tools Gallery, they also appear in this list. If you want to add a tool directly from the Process Template Editor, select the <New Tool> option to display the Add New Tool dialog box. This adds the tool to the Tools Gallery and makes it available for the current task.

Note:If, after adding a new tool for a task that is not included in the Tools Gallery, you assign a different tool or no tool to the task, the tool you added will no longer be available. To avoid this, when possible, add tools to the Tools Gallery

Tool Configuration

This list contains all available command-line configurations for the selected tool. If you do not need a configuration, select <None>. Click Configure to add new configurations to the tool, which you can then select from this list.

Help File

You can associate a help file (in HTML format) with the task to provide instructions for performing the task. Enter the path and help file in this field, or use the Browse button to navigate to it. If you have yet to create an HTML page, click the Edit HTML button to the right of the Browse button to open a default page in an HTML editor.

Notes

Add any notes you want associated with this task. This field can only hold 255 characters, so additional information should be added to your help file.
