Workflows enable users within an organization to automatically rerun analytic and visualization steps on new sets of data. By streamlining and automating certain business tasks that are repeatable, Workflows minimize room for error while increasing overall efficiency and productivity.
Using Workflows
To Create and Save a Workflow

- Any action performed in Virtualitics Explore Desktop that causes an update to a plot (or running a routine) will create an entry in the Workflow panel.

Notes
- Running AI Routines and Search creates two Workflow entries. One entry corresponds to the action of running the AI function and the other entry is created by the mapping generated when the plot updates after running the AI function.
- Other than these routines, the Workflow functionality is synced with most of the entries in the History panel.
- Calculator entries will also be recorded after the Calculator result is added to the Features list.
- Workflows can be edited outside of Virtualitics Explore Desktop within the Workflow JSON file.
- Autosave does not recover Workflows.
