There is an Edit action available in the toolbar (right side). The Steps browser is not available (left side). When you open a Default and/or Legacy model for editing: For example, when no participant has been defined for a Participant step:Įditing a Default or Legacy Workflow for the First Time

When these conditions are not satisfied an error will be shown when you attempt to Sync the model. Some steps have mandatory fields and/or built in validation.

When the changes are synchronized with the runtime (saved) model, Synched is shown instead. When you (or any other user) make any changes to the workflow you must use Sync to generate a runtime model - even when individual dialogs (for example, for steps) have had their own save options. If you do not Sync your changes, then the changes will not be available at runtime. The runtime model is the model actually used when a user starts a workflow. Sync (right in the editor toolbar) generates a runtime model. Sync your Workflow - Generate a Runtime Model When updates to your workflow are complete you must use Sync to Generate a Runtime Model. You can edit any existing workflow model to:Ĭonfigure workflow properties, including stages, whether the workflow is transient and/or uses multiple resourcesĮditing a Default or Legacy (out-of-the-box) workflow has an additional step, to ensure that a safe copy is taken prior to your changes being made. This folder can then be used for managing access to the models in that folder. If creating models programmatically (using a crx package) you can also create a sub-folder within:įor example, /var/workflow/models/prototypes Select your new workflow, then use Edit to open it for configuration: The new model is listed in the Workflow Models console. Enter the Title and Name (optional) before selecting Done. The Add Workflow Model dialog box appears. Open the Workflow Models console by way of Tools, Workflow, Models or, for example: To create a new workflow with the editor: Edit or delete this step, and add steps as required. This step is configured to assign a work item to the workflow initiator. These steps are required and cannot be edited or removed.Īn example Participant step named Step 1. These represent the beginning and end of the workflow.

When you first create a new workflow model it contains:

When a user starts a workflow, an instance is started this is the corresponding runtime model, created when you Sync your changes. You can also define model properties, such as whether the workflow is transient or uses multiple resources. You create a workflow model to define the series of steps executed when a user starts the workflow. For use of the classic UI, please see the AEM 6.3 documentation for reference.
