Introduction

The JOC Cockpit offers folders and tags to organize JS7 - Workflows:

  • Workflows are stored in folders. Users can create any level of sub-folders to store workflows.
  • In addition, workflows can be tagged to create individual selections of workflows in the Configuration view, Workflows view and Daily Plan view.

Workflow Folders

Workflows are stored in folders that offer a number of operations from a folder's action menu:


Folder Operations:

  • Cut, Copy, Paste: The clipboard operations to move or to copy a folder to a different name or location.
  • Shallow Copy: By default The Copy operation performs a deep copy which means that any objects referenced by workflows will be copied too, for example JS7 - Resource Locks. A shallow copy will copy workflows only and will keep the references in place.
  • Rename: Offers to rename a workflow and to move the workflow to a different location:



    • If the New Path specifies a name then the workflow will be renamed.
    • If the New Path specifies a path of folder, optional sub-folders and Workflow name, for example /accounting/reports/JobTermination, then the workflow will be relocated and optionally will be renamed.
