Tutorial - Finding and Inserting Tasks in an Active Workflow

Create a workflow so that all of its tasks cannot display on the Workflow Editor/Monitor at the same time.

Launch the workflow and right-click in the Workflow Monitor canvas. A pop-up menu displays.
 

Click Find in Workflow... to display the Find in Workflow dialog.
 

Select an operator for the search (contains, starts with, or equals), enter the full or partial name of the task(s) that you want to find, and click OK. The Controller locates and displays the first task within the Workflow that matches the search criteria. Click the Next and/or Previous buttons to find any other tasks that match the search criteria.
 

Right-click the found task (stonebranch-timertask-02) to display a menu of actions available for that task.
 

Click Insert Task As Predecessor.... The Task Insert > Task Selection dialog displays.
 

Find a task you want to insert and drag the task's icon to the workflow canvas. In this example, we have selected stonebranch-manualtask-01.

The Controller inserts stonebranch-manualtask-01 as a precedent to the Waiting stonebranch-timertask-02 task, and stonebranch-manualtask-01 begins running (as a Manual Task, it requires a user action). When stonebranch-manualtask-01 completes, stonebranch-timertask-02 begins running.
 

Once again, right click stonebranch-timertask-02 to display a menu of actions available for that task.
 

Select Insert Task As Successor.... The Task Insert > Task Selection dialog displays.
 

Find the task you want to insert and drag the task's icon to the workflow canvas. In this example, we have selected stonebranch-filemonitor-03.

The Controller inserts stonebranch-filemonitor-03 as a successor to stonebranch-timertask-02. When stonebranch-timertask-02 completes successfully, the inserted stonebranch-filemonitor-03 task begins running.
