All Steps and Template steps settings

Admin can control the display of the “All Steps” category within the workflow designer toolbox.  The default behavior of the “All Steps” category can be set as “Expanded or Collapsed”.

Similarly, “My Template Steps” and “All Template Steps” step categories can be shown or hidden within the workflow designer toolbox. 

 

Delimeter Configuration

The default delimeters for row and column separation are defined here. 

The default delimeters for name and type separators for business object configuration are defined here.  

 

Delimeter configuration changes:

These delimeters are not advised for change during the life cycle of the application usage. In case the delimeters need to be changed, it should be done by the FlowWright Admin by freezing all previous existing definitions and instances. With new delimeter configuration applied in between the application usage, it is not possible to render previous workflow instances and expect them to work as before.
