PARCtask Workflow Designer is a program used to create reoccurring tasks such as saving screenshots of PARCview Trends and PARCgraphics, generating PARCreports from user-supplied parameters, sending emails based on specific conditions, and executing SQL scripts.
In the PARCtask Workflow Designer a preconfigured sequence of tasks, or “workflow” can be created. Time-based or event-based “triggers” that cause the workflow to execute can then be set. PARCtask has two types of workflows, Designer Workflows and Scripted Workflows.
A Designer workflow uses standard Designer blocks to create a workflow by placing the items in a step graph. This displays the steps in the workflow in order from beginning to end. In a designer workflow, the underlying code the Designer items create can be viewed, but it cannot be altered.
A script workflow allows the user to write Visual Basic script that defines the behavior of the task. Execution triggers can still be defined as in Designer Workflows.
