Workflow configuration files are named for their location and the process the module handles.

Example: CHRN6_Flow_Forecast is a workflow file for the site with a 5-character id of CHRN6 with a segment level activity of a flow forecast.

Workflow Contents

Workflow configuration files can contain the following elements:

• A moduleInstanceId is required only if the activity is in a module.
• workflowId is required if the activity is a workflow.
• fallbackActivity is an optional activity to run in the event the primary activity fails.
• An ensemble id is required if the activity is an ensemble.
• runIndependent is a flag indicating whether the activity is independent of other workflow activities.
  • If set to “true”, and the item fails, the workflow will not fail.
  • If the flag is “false” and the activity fails, the workflow will fail.

Basic Steps

1. Create a workflow file in the Workflows directory.
2. Add the workflow to the WorkflowDescriptors.xml file in the RegionConfigFiles directory.
3. Inspect the results in the Workflow Navigator.

Use the following job sheet for instructions on how to add a workflow.
