59.3.10.10 Importing/Exporting T-Workflows

Etere allows sharing T-workflow structures between different systems to enable users to save time on their design by quickly recreating into their local system (e.g. S1) a T-workflow designed on a different one (e.g. S2).

To use a T-workflow designed on another system, it's enough to follow the procedure below:

System 1

1. Access to "Etere Configuration > Configuration Editor > T-Workflow > Designer", click the "Open" icon and select an available T-workflow to be shared and open the T-workflow. 

2. click the "Export workflow" button from the opened T-workflow to create an. XML file containing the workflow structure data of the selected T-workflow.
Export_workflow

Next, select a destination folder to store the exported. XML file.
destination_folder_to_store_the_exported_.XML_file

3. The structure of the exported T-workflow will be automatically stored in the given XML file

System 2

4. At the designated system, access to "Etere Configuration > Configuration Editor > T-Workflow > Designer."

5. Click on the "Import workflow" icon to launch the import process, browse and select the. XML file (in stop # 3) containing the previously exported T-workflow.
Import_workflow

The system will prompt the user to enter a name into the workflow; if no name is given, a default name will be assigned to the workflow (i.e. Imported [date] [time] [original name]).

6. The data structure of the imported T-workflow will be recreated in the current system, and a completion message will be prompted.
Import

The imported T-workflow will be available under the "Import" category:

7. All action blocks in the imported T-workflow are placeholders (i.e. inoperative blocks) that can be manually replaced after the import using the "Replace action" indicated in the screenshot below.
