Adding New Workflow

The IntelliAppZ Process is a combination of workflows containing sequences of activities. At the same time, a workflow is a granular process unit.

You can add a Workflow to the IntelliAppZ Process by importing an existing Workflow (.XAML) file or create a new Workflow by adding a new Sequence. Each workflow is a separate file and has an extension .xaml

Importing Workflows​

You can import an existing workflow from the file system or the Snippet Gallery.

Importing Workflow from a file system​

  • In IntelliAppZ Designer, go to Project Explorer panel
  • Right-Click on the project name and expand the Import menu, and select Workflows
  • The file selection dialog pops up. Select the Workflow file (.xaml) to import.
  • Click on OK
note

When you import a workflow from another IntelliAppZ process, it will create a copy of that workflow inside the current Process. Hence, changes made to the workflow in the current Process will be local to this workflow and do not affect or reflect in the original IntelliAppZ Process or workflow.

Adding New Workflow​

You can add the following three types of workflows to an IntelliAppZ Process:

Adding New Sequence​

  • Go to the main menu's Design ribbon tab and click on the small down arrow in the New item. A dropdown list appears with three options. Select and click on the Sequence option.
  • New Sequence creation dialog appears. Fill in the Name and Location set to the IntelliAppZ Process path, and click on the Create button.
  • Creates new Sequence xaml file TestSequenceIntelliAppZ_new.XAML at Process path.
  • Refer to example process.

Adding New Flow Chart​

  • Go to the main menu's Design ribbon tab and click on the small down arrow in the New item. A dropdown list appears with three options. Select and click on the Flow Chart option.
  • New Flow Chart creation dialog appears. Fill in the Name and Location set to the IntelliAppZ Process path, and click on the Create button.
  • Creates a new Flow Chart XAML TestFlowchartIntelliAppz.XAML file at IntelliAppZ Process path.
  • Refer to example process.

Adding New State Machine​

  • Go to the main menu's Design ribbon tab and click on the small down arrow in the New item. A dropdown list appears with three options. Select and click on the State Machine option.
  • New State Machine creation dialog appears. Fill in the Name and Location set to the IntelliAppZ Process path, and click on the Create button.
  • Creates a new State Machine XAML TestStatemachineIntelliAppZ.XAML file at Process path.
  • Refer to example process.

Invoking Workflow​

When you add a new workflow to your IntelliAppZ Process, the workflow can be invoked by other workflows part of the IntelliAppZ Process using Invoke Workflow activity.

You can either drag and drop Invoke Workflow activity from the Activities panel and configure it OR drag and drop the workflow from the Project Explorer panel to the designer panel as shown below.
