Class to perform operations on Workflow Manager workflows and steps. The workflows are collections of steps that are executed while working on a job. Workflows are designed to organize and simplify tasks to ensure that no step is missed. The steps are the building blocks of your workflows and are connected using paths. Step and path properties determine the flow of the work.
- Steps - The steps determine how the work will be done, for example a geoprocessing tool will be executed to buffer the points. Get information about a step, and whether a step can be run. You can get all steps in the workflow, or the current steps for execution. The steps can be executed or marked as done when executing a job. The steps can also be set as the current step of workflow and the workflow can be advanced to the next step when the current step is done.
- Workflows - The workflow consists of steps, paths and annotations. Details about the steps, path and the annotation can be retrieved and the workflow can be retreived as an image as well.
