Export/Import Workflow

Export Workflow​

The Export Workflow feature allows you to save a workflow with various levels of detail for different purposes, such as creating templates, debugging, or transferring workflows across environments. The export process provides flexibility through a dialog with three options to tailor the exported file to your needs.

Steps to Export a Workflow​

Access Export Option:

In the workflow builder, click on the three dots menu at the top-right corner.

Select Export Workflow from the dropdown menu.

Export Dialog:

A dialog will appear, allowing you to choose one of the following options based on your requirements:

Export Options​

As Template:

  • Purpose: Use this option to export only the workflow structure and configurations.
  • Contents:
    • Node definitions and connections.
    • Workflow-level configurations.
  • Use Case: Ideal for sharing a clean template without session logs, assets, or data.

Configurations Only:

  • Purpose: Exports the current workflow configuration along with session logs, services, and assets.
  • Contents:
    • Workflow structure and configurations.
    • Session logs for debugging.
    • Services and any included assets.
  • Use Case: Use this option for debugging workflows on another system or sharing with NAZDAQ for support purposes.

Configurations with Data:

  • Purpose: Exports the workflow, including runtime data and the option to include specific historical iterations.
  • Contents:
    • Workflow structure and configurations.
    • Session logs, services, and assets.
    • States (persisted workflow states).
    • Iterations: Specify the number of most recent iterations to include.
  • Use Case: Suitable for transferring workflows along with execution history and states, ensuring a complete replica of the current execution environment.

Best Practices​

  • As Template: Use this for deploying clean workflows without historical or debug data.
  • Configurations Only: Ideal for sharing workflows for troubleshooting without transferring large data.
  • Configurations with Data: Use this when debugging requires runtime data or when transferring workflows to retain their states and execution history.

Import a Workflow​

Importing a workflow from a file is done by clicking on the 3 dots → Import.

The Import Workflow dialog is opened. The user should browse and select the desired workflow. After the import is done, these steps will be done automatically:

  • The workflow will be added to the Development tab.
  • The row in the table will be selected.

Import Workflow Dialog​

  • Browse and select the desired workflow file.
  • Data — whether to include data from development or not. Choose the desired number of iterations to import.
