Workflows Edit

Editing a Workflow​

You can edit a workflow by selecting the row you want from the list of Workflows. From here, you can change the name of the Workflow or Run Workflow Now. This shows monitors that make up the workflow and the variables, if any, that are set at each stage of the workflow. More monitors can be added by selecting the + button on any of the monitors to add one after that call or the Add Step button as well as the Add New Monitor button. The monitors can also be reordered using the arrows on the left of the row and deleted using the bin icon on the right of the row.
