Adding Workflow Activities

 

Workflow Activities are the steps of your Workflow.  You can use pre-defined Workflow Activities or define your own unique Workflow Activities.  Several pre-defined Workflow Activities are available “out of the box” and can be displayed using the “Add Activity” Button.  The Workflow Activities are classified based on Tool name or by function, such as “Test Tools.”

 

 If you wish to have your Workflow Activities execute on a location other than “MyComputer” you should first assign a new Server Pool to your Workflow.  You can then assign Workflow Activities to the Server Pool.

 

Table WM-10 shows how to add a Workflow Activity using the “Update from CVS”  pre-defined Workflow Activity.
