Workflow overview
A workflow is a sequence of tasks or steps that are used to complete a specific business process in Birst. They outline the steps involved, the order in which they should be performed, and the resources needed, such as target or source spaces, to carry them out. Workflows can be used for data extraction, processing, and space operations such as duplicating and swapping spaces.
Workflows are created and maintained in Orchestration. When you create a workflow, you can:
- Add a single or multiple tasks to a step
- Add multiple steps to the workflow
- Click the icon in the step header to edit the name of the step

- Use the up and down arrows in the step headers to order the steps in the worflow
- Rest your cursor in the spaces before and after the steps to enable the option
