Creating Snippet

A Snippet is a workflow that is designed to be reused across processes. A Snippet is similar to a macro in programming, a small workflow segment containing a set of activities.

You can view all your Snippets from the Snippet Panel inside Process Designer.

Creating Snippet​

Usually, you can export any block of activities you repeatedly add to your automation workflow as a snippet. It gets saved as a XAML file inside the Snippet Gallery. You can view all your Snippets inside the Snippet Panel of Process Designer.

Using Snippet in Automation​

  • Open the Process where you want to use a Snippet
  • Go to Snippet Panel
  • Select the Snippet you want to use in the current Process
  • Drag that Snippet into Design Panel
  • This will create a copy of the Snippet workflow inside the current Process with the same name as the Snippet
  • It will also insert Invoke workflow activity and configures it to the Snippet workflow just created
note
  • In whichever Process you use the Snippet, a local copy of the Snippet XAML file is placed in the process path.
  • Modifying this local copy of the Snippet will not reflect in the original Snippet XAML file.
