K2 Workflow Designer - Working on the Design Canvas

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.

The K2 Workflow Designer design canvas is a user friendly dynamic environment that caters for a quick and easy way of designing business workflows. On the design canvas each step in the workflow is represented by a step icon displaying an icon for the type of action that should be taken at that stage of the workflow. When hovering over the step with your mouse three additional icons appear allowing for the specific workflow step to be configured or customized. Outcomes can be configured, additional participants can be added, business logic can be added or notes can be added to the step to help organize the workflow for ease of use. These additional functionalities can either be accessed by right or left clicking on the particular icon.
