Create a new workflow

Workflows are saved as single files on disk with file extension *.gwf, (Geocap Workflow). A good idea may be to create a folder in your project called Workflows and put the workflow there.

  1. Click File > New > Workflow. Then a browser pops up.
  2. Press the New Element icon to create the first entry. That may also be achieved by a right-click New Element.
  3. Select the Display command found in the Commands folder and click OK.
  4. Right-click the Display command in the workflow and select Edit.
  5. In a workflow, you will need to select a dataset from the project. The command usually requires a dataset to do an action on (such as a type of display).
  6. In your project, select a line and click the green arrow in the Display edit menu.
  7. Choose the display settings you like (color, glue to surface or not, etc.) and click OK again.
  8. Right click the element in the workflow and choose Execute. Alternatively, click the Execute icon.
  9. Examine how your display looks and edit the command if necessary to achieve the results you want by right clicking on the command and choosing edit.
  10. In order to keep your workflow organized it is recommended to change the name of the newly added commands from Display to something more descriptive like, Display Coastline Yellow which is done by right clicking the command and choosing Rename.
  11. Continue to add different commands to your workflow
  12. Remember to save the workflow by clicking
