Workflow Builder Options

The Workflow Builder red triangle menu contains the following options:

Presentation Mode

Sets the workflow to presentation mode where the Log History is hidden and the ability to edit the workflow is limited.

Show History Grouped by Age

Groups or ungroups history based on time.

Allow Backstep

Enables the user to back up a step in the workflow. This is a useful option to have enabled as you record and work on a workflow. Once complete, disable to increase the execution speed of the workflow.

Tip: During development, disable when working with large data tables if you encounter slowness in your workflow.

Name Default to Here

Sets the names to local names.

Show Enable Checkboxes

Shows or hides check boxes on the workflow to enable or disable steps in the workflow.

Set Notes

Adds a note above the workflow steps.

Tip: Use the Notes section in the Step Settings to annotate individual steps.

References

As the workflow executes, it prompts the user for tables or columns that are not found in order to continue the workflow. The References menu contains the following options.

Allow Replacement of References

(Selected by default.) Enables the workflow to prompt for unknown tables or columns.

Clear Replacements

(Available after executing a workflow with replacements.) Clears the previously selected replacement tables or columns.

Manage

Opens the Reference Manager window to manage table and column replacements. Set prompts, when to prompt, and what to prompt for with each workflow run.

Add Custom Action

Enables you to add a step specified by JSL code.

Include Workflow

Adds a dynamic reference to the workflow to run another workflow.

Import Workflow

Imports a saved workflow into the current workflow.

Temporary Subset

Adds an action to create a temporary table subset to use for workflow debugging.

Duplicate Workflow

Opens a duplicate workflow window.

Add Steps to Journal

Adds the steps from the most recent execution of the workflow to a Journal. Each step is a journal entry with a JSL code window. Steps that generate analysis windows show a thumbnail image of the analysis window along with the full size image in a closed outline.

Note: The journal can be saved to a PDF file for sharing outside of JMP.

Save to Script Window

Saves the JSL from the workflow to a script window. This enables the use of the script outside of the Workflow Builder.

Create Workflow Package

Saves the workflow and associated files, such as data tables, to a package for sharing.
