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 logic, styling, shape, and help. 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 attachments to a job. | |
Delete active job versions and attachments associated with a job. | |
Create job-specific versions of your data. | |
Define the geographic extent of a job's location. | |
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 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 pages and web apps in an integrated Workflow Manager environment for a seamless experience. | |
Add a decision point to a workflow and define a question to determine the next step in the workflow. | |
Run geoprocessing tools, ModelBuilder models, and Python scripts that have been published as geoprocessing services. | |
Send an email notification to one or more recipients. | |
An optional step that can be used to indicate where a workflow starts and ends. | |
Allow the person running a job to update the job's extended properties. |
