In Canto RoboFlow, the work to be done is defined as one or many workflows. Depending on the workflow type, a workflow consists of one or several action scripts. Each action script is comprised of several actions. The workflow type determines the available action scripts but the user defines the concrete actions to be executed within an action script.
Workflows may process different inputs. The input processed by a workflow determines its type. The following types exist:
• processing results of a SQL query
• synchronizing files from file system folder structure with a catalog
• processing a list of categories
• processing a list of records
• processing files newly placed in a file system folder (hot folder)
The workflow type is selected while creating a new workflow via the Cumulus Web Server Console. The type of a workflow cannot be changed after the workflow has been created.
