- Open the workflow creation dialog via clicking „New …“ in the Workflow Selection View.
- First, select a service from the list of services by double-clicking. You can choose an approved service (automatically activated) or a service from the list of all services. You can add more than one service to the list in the preferred order. If you want to add a service to a workflow with some services afterwards, activate "Keep given services". If you want to replace the services in a workflow by a selection of services, do not activate "Keep given services".
- In the next step, you order the selected services, duplicate or remove them by selecting them and using the buttons.
- The selected service appears in a service chain with the service description on the next window. If possible, an input and output can be selected from a pulldown menu. This is necessary if the worklow consists of more than one step. By clicking “Clear Assigned Associations” these connections can be reset.
- Some services offer configuration options. Use the pulldown menus and the buttons to change them.
- In the window for metadata transformation for every step of the workflow it can be defined from which input box metadata should be transferred. Some services offer a selection via drop down menu to choose the input box for the metadata. Use the “Configure …” button to edit the title and the format of the output files. A pop up dialog opens. Use “title.append” and “title.prepend”, if the output files should be named like the input files with an appendix or prependix. Click “Cancel” to remove your changes or “Finish” to save them.
- Finally, select a name for the new workflow and the Project in which it should be saved.
- Use “Finish and Save“ to complete this process.
Use “New …” to create another workflow or “Edit...” to change an existing one.
