Publishing Wizard

The Publishing Wizard is one of two ways to publish a workflow definition. This method reminds you to create a starting rule.

Note: Publishing a workflow that is running causes it to become suspended.

Using the Publishing Wizard

1. Ensure the workflow you want to publish is visible in the Workflow Designer.
2. Under Workflow in the menu bar, point to Publish and select Launch Publishing Wizard.

   

3. In the opening screen of the Publishing Wizard, click Next.

   

   Tip: You can configure this wizard to always skip the opening screen.

4. On the Workflow Properties screen, enter a name and description for the workflow.

   

5. Click Publish.
6. If your workflow cannot be published, you will receive an error message. If your workflow was successfully published, you will be prompted to create a starting rule.
   
   
   • Click Yes to use the Rules Wizard to create a starting rule.
   • Click No to manually create a starting rule.

     Note: A published workflow must be assigned a starting rule before it becomes operational.
