Preface

Sync presentation settings


In this recipe, we will make it easier for you to reuse presentation settings from embedded workflows.

Getting ready

We need a workflow with a presentation assigned to it; you can use the 05.05 Workflow Presentation example workflow.

How to do it...

  1. Log into the Orchestrator Client and create a new workflow.

  2. Drag the workflow with the presentation onto the schema. You can use the 05.05 Workflow Presentation example workflow.

  3. Right-click the workflow and select Synchronize | Synchronize presentation.

  4. Confirm that you want to sync.

  5. Check the presentation of your new workflow.

How it works...

This is one of the functions that has been around for some time but people don't know about. It not only syncs the presentation but also links up all the workflow elements inputs as INPUTs.
