K2 Workflow Designer - Navigation Bar
This content applies to legacy design tools (such as K2 Studio, K2 for Visual Studio, or the Silverlight-based K2 workflow design tool). If you have upgraded from K2 blackpearl 4.7 to K2 Five , these tools may still be available in your environment. These legacy tools may not be available in new installations of K2 Five . These legacy tools may also not be available, supported, or behave as described, in future updates or versions of K2. Please see the legacy component support policy for more information about support for these components.
Once the K2 Workflow Designer is open, the navigation bar is available for performing various actions when building a workflow. The navigation bar is broken up into sections:
| Feature | What it is |
|---|---|
| Menu Button | Used to navigate to the Main Menu |
| File | Assist a user by providing a selection of tools that can be used in the designing or editing of a workflow. The File Menu is one of the menus allowing a user to save, publish or edit the properties of a workflow |
| Workflow Steps | Contains the selection of Designer Tools that can be used to build workflows |
| SmartObjects | Provides an easy access point for all the SmartObjects that are available for use within the K2 Workflow Designer workflow |
| Workflow Templates | Workflows can be saved as Templates and reused to create new workflows |
| Favorites | The Favorites menu contains the list of users/groups that can be assigned as participants to a workflow. Users can be added to the Favorites menu via the Participant icon located on a step |
| Design Canvas | The design canvas is a dynamic design area where the steps and wizards are dropped and configured accordingly resulting in the creation of a new K2 Workflow Designer workflow |
