Execution & Features

The Execution section provides users with various options to run or manage their workflows efficiently. These options offer flexibility and control over how workflows are executed, debugged, or stopped. Below is a detailed explanation of the available choices:

1. Workflow: This drop-down menu lists all the workflows available within the current solution. Users can easily navigate through the list, select the workflow they wish to execute, and proceed with the desired operation. This feature simplifies workflow management, ensuring quick access to the desired process.

2. Run as Debug: Selecting this option executes the workflow in debug mode. Debug mode is a critical tool for troubleshooting and refining workflows. It allows users to monitor each step of execution, identify errors or inefficiencies, and make necessary adjustments. This feature is especially useful during the development phase, where precision and accuracy are paramount.

3. Run: This option runs the selected workflow in standard execution mode. Unlike debug mode, this provides a streamlined execution path, ideal for testing or deploying finalized workflows. It ensures that the workflow is carried out as designed without the additional overhead of step-by-step debugging.

4. Stop: This option halts the execution of the currently selected workflow. It is particularly useful in scenarios where an error occurs during execution or if the workflow needs to be aborted for any reason. The Stop feature ensures users have full control over workflow operations, minimizing disruptions or unintended consequences.

Manage Features

The Manage Features screen offers a centralized location for viewing, managing, and updating features available for the Designer. This section is designed to enhance the user experience by providing seamless access to the tools and functionalities that support automation processes. Here are the details of the key functionalities:

1. Installed Features: This section lists all the features currently installed in the Designer. It helps users keep track of the capabilities already integrated into their setup, ensuring they can make the most of available tools.

2. Updates: This highlights any installed features that have updates available. Keeping features up-to-date is crucial for maintaining optimal performance, fixing bugs, and accessing new enhancements. This option ensures users can stay current with minimal effort.

3. New Features: This area showcases the latest features available for the Designer. It allows users to explore and integrate new tools that can expand the Designer’s capabilities, providing opportunities to innovate and improve workflows.

4. Browse for Features: The Browse option enables users to locate and add features stored locally on their systems. This flexibility allows for a customized setup, where users can incorporate features that suit their specific needs or workflows.

Clear Unused Variables

The Clear Unused Variables feature is designed to enhance workflow efficiency and maintain a clean workspace by removing unnecessary variables that are no longer in use. This functionality is especially beneficial for larger automation projects, where unused variables can accumulate and potentially lead to confusion or clutter.

By simply clicking the Unused Variables option in the menu, users can instantly clear all unused variables from their workflow with minimal effort.
