Create a new workflow

In this exercise we will create a workflow that displays seabed and land and some important lines from the project.

• Click File -> New -> Workflow. Then a browser pops up.
  The workflow is saved as a single file on disk with file extension *.gwf, (Geocap Work Flow). A good idea may be to create a folder in your project called Workflows and put the workflow there.

1. Press the New Element icon to create the first entry. That may also be achieved by a right-click New Element.
2. Select the Display command found in the Commands folder and click OK.
3. Right-click the Display command in the workflow and select Edit. Then this panel pops up:
   Image Modified
   The Display edit panel

In a workflow, you will need to browse in an object from the project. The command usually requires a dataset to do an action on (such as a type of display).

1. Browse to the coastline folder under 1. Maritime lines, highlight The Kingdom of Atlantis and click OK.
2. Choose the display settings you like (color, stick glue to surface or not, etc.) and click OK again.
3. Right click the element in the workflow and choose Execute. Alternatively, click the Execute icon.
4. 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.
5. 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.

Note that commands may be copied from Shared commands, Item commands and Schema commands and pasted into the workflow.

1. Go to a seabed surface grid and right-click, select Edit Schema Commands. Then select Map sea and select the Copy-button on top.
2. Leave that panel and go to the workflow panel. Press the paste-buttonRight click the Map sea command in the Toolbox and select Copy. (It should be located under Schema Commands if you have selected a Seabed Surface.)
3. Click the Paste button in the workflow.
4. Again you must edit it and browse your seabed surface into the panel.
5. Remember to save the workflow by clicking :
