Workflow Management

Workflow Management is the central entry for RPA Plus workflows. Create and find workflows, edit their details, or copy, delete, import, export, and share them.

View and Find Workflows

Workflows appear as cards containing the name, notes, and creation time. Long notes display up to three lines.

Two independent search conditions are available:

  • Workflow name: Find keywords in a name.
  • Workflow notes: Narrow results using note content.

Click the refresh icon beside the search fields to load the latest data. Display 20, 50, or 100 workflows per page.

Create a Workflow

  1. Open RPA Plus > Workflow Management.
  2. Click Create Workflow.
  3. Enter a workflow name and notes in the editor.
  4. Add nodes and save the workflow.

A new workflow automatically contains a Start node. This fixed entry cannot be deleted.

For a complete first-time example, see Create an Automation Workflow.

Open and Edit a Workflow

Click Edit on a card to enter the workflow editor and modify nodes, connections, variables, and settings.

To change only the name or notes, click the edit icon beside the workflow name without opening the canvas. Confirm the change to update the card.

Change Workflow Settings Directly

Click the settings icon at the bottom of a card to open Workflow Settings. Configure layout direction, Auto-connect, default error handling, runtime timeout, browser behavior, and other options.

These settings affect subsequent editing and execution. See Workflow Settings for definitions and defaults.

Copy a Workflow

To build a similar workflow from an existing one, open More Actions and select Copy as Template.

The copy is created as a separate workflow with a name in this format:

text
Original workflow name_Copy_timestamp

The copy and original are saved independently. Editing or deleting the copy does not affect the original, making it suitable for a test version or business template.

Delete Workflows

Delete One Workflow

  1. Click the delete icon at the bottom of its card.
  2. Verify the workflow name in the confirmation.
  3. Confirm deletion.

Before deleting, confirm that no task still uses the workflow. Existing tasks report that the workflow is missing and cannot be submitted or started normally after deletion.

Delete Workflows in Bulk

  1. Select the workflow cards to delete.
  2. Click Delete at the top.
  3. Confirm the batch action.

Select All applies only to the current page. Process each page separately when required.

Select Workflows in Bulk

Select workflows to share or delete them in bulk.

Before changing the search or page, confirm that the selection still matches the intended operation.

Recommendations

  • Use a name that identifies the business goal, such as Daily Product Inventory Check.
  • Record applicable accounts, data sources, or maintainers in Notes for search and handover.
  • Copy a production workflow before changing it and validate the test version before updating the task workflow.
  • Remove obsolete test workflows regularly and always verify the workflow assigned to a task before execution.
