Step templates

Step templates are preconfigured steps that perform different types of actions when a job is run, such as opening a map, running a geoprocessing tool, asking a question, and so on. Each step template contains a default name and values for step properties, options, and styling. When a step template is added to a workflow diagram, it becomes a unique step in the workflow and its default values can be customized as necessary.

The following table lists the step templates included in ArcGIS Workflow Manager:

Step template	Description
Add Attachment	Add attachments to a job.
Add Comment	Add comments to a job.
Advanced Assignment	Choose the user or group to whom a subsequent step is assigned.
Cleanup	Remove the location defined in the job.
Create Job	Create jobs, automatically generate dependencies, and establish parent-child relationships between jobs.
Define Location	Define the geographic extent of a job's location.
Manual Step	Create a step with no advanced logic to serve as a placeholder for separate tasks that need to be completed outside of Workflow Manager—for example, fieldwork for GPS data collection, requests pending approval from a manager, or documentation.
Open Pro Project Items	Open one or more project items in an ArcGIS Pro project, such as maps or tasks. If a mapping item is chosen, data layers are pointed to the appropriate branch versions for the job.
Open Web Page	Open web pages and web apps in an integrated Workflow Manager environment for a seamless experience.
Question	Add a decision point to a workflow and define a question to determine the next step in the workflow.
Run GP Service	Run geoprocessing tools, ModelBuilder models, and Python scripts that have been published as geoprocessing services.
Run Pro GP Tool	Run geoprocessing tools, Python scripts, or ModelBuilder models in ArcGIS Pro.
Send Email	Send an email notification to one or more recipients.
Send Web Request	Send requests to REST endpoints to get data or post updates.
Start/End	An optional step that can be used to indicate where a workflow diagram starts and ends.
Survey 123	Collect, view, and edit ArcGIS Survey123 surveys.
Update 1-M Job Properties	Allow the user running the job to create, show, and edit table records in a job's one-to-many properties table.
Update Job Properties	Allow the user running a job to update the job's extended properties.
