Add a Workflow¶
A PHC workflow allows you to run and monitor the CWL executions contained in a PHC tool.
Important
A workflow requires a tool. If you need to create a tool, follow the instructions in Add a Tool.
- On the PHC side menu, click Automation.
- On the Workflows screen, click Add Workflow.
- At the Tool stage of the process, click a tool name.
- At the Version stage, click a version.
- At the Initialize stage, enter a useful Workflow Name. Entering a Workflow output folder name is optional, but you may want to enter something easy to identify, such as a project or user name, to help you recognize the folder in the future. Click Next.
-
At the File Parameters stage, click the edit icon to select all the files in the PHC that the workflow needs to run and click Next.
Note: If you need to add workflow files to the PHC, click Files on the PHC side menu. On the Files screen, click Add File.
-
At the String Parameters stage, complete any displayed fields and click Next. (Different workflows display different string input fields.)
-
At the Confirm stage, verify the information and click Start to run the workflow.
Success
You created and initiated a workflow. On the Workflows screen, click on the workflow name for execution details and a graph of the workflow steps.
