The second way is to right-click over an existing category and choose the Add new category option from the context menu.

The New category window will open.

  • enter a category name
  • enter at least 5 characters for the description
  • browse for an image to associate with the category
  • select the language (the user can choose from english and german)
  • click on the OK button to save


To create a sub-category, select a category, click on the Actions drop-down list and choose the Add new subcategory option.


The New category window will open.

  • enter a category name
  • enter at least 5 characters for the description
  • browse for an image to associate with the category
  • select the language (the user can choose from english and german)
  • click on the OK button to save


Edit Category

A category can be edited by selecting it, right-clicking over it and selecting the Edit option from the context menu. 


The Edit Category window will open.

  • edit the name of the category
  • edit the description of the category
  • change the category image
  • select the language (the user can choose from english and german)
  • click OK to save the changes


Delete Category

A category can be deleted by selecting it, right-clicking over it and selecting the Delete option from the context menu. 

If the category does not contain any workflows that prevent the deletion of the category, a confirmation window will open. In order to finalize the deletion of the category, click on Yes button on the confirmation window. 

If the category contains workflows that prevent deletion, a Warning window will open:


Assign Category Timestamp Rights

In order to assign permissions that will apply for all timestamps in a category for a group/user predefined in Security Groups area, right-click a category and select the Assign timestamp rights option to open the Edit rights dialog:


The Edit rights window will open:

After the users/groups are checked, click on Save button.

 In order to verify that the permissions have been added to the category timestamps, click on a timestamp inside the selected category and go to User assignments tab.



Export Category

Users can export the entire content of a category (subcategories and workflows) for future use.

This can be done by selecting the category, right-clicking over it and selecting the Export option from the context menu. 


Once clicked, a Save as window appears for the user to select the export destination

Select a location where you want the category to be exported and click Save.


The actual export will consist of a folder-tree that mirrors the [category - subcategories – workflows display Names – workflows versions – workflows timestamps] structure in Administrator.

The actual workflows will be exported as [workflowName].zip files that will contain:

  • the workflow .xaml file
  • a details.txt file (containing the display name, description and version)
  • the workflow’s icon as a .bmp file of format [workflow_name].bmp
  • optional, a parameters profile .xml file.
  • the workflow's screenshot
  • the workflow's execution logs, if any
