Working with a workflow

You can use ZEDI to create, import, save, and export workflows.

A list of imported workflows is displayed on the right-hand pane under the Workflows tab.

The preconfigured workflows have green flag icons, while the custom workflows have blue flag icons.

Creating and saving a custom workflow

When you generate an XML input, a workflow is created and it is displayed in the Execute tab.

1. Click File > Save.

Note: You can set the location by clicking Preferences > Workflows Path. The default location is the folder that contains the ZEDI executable file.

The workflows are saved as XML files.

Exporting a workflow

You can save a workflow in any of the languages that is supported by the current ZEDI version, and in the XML format.

1. Select the preferred programming language by clicking Preferences > Languages.

2. Select the Workflow tab containing the workflow.

3. Navigate to File > Export and select the language you chose.

Importing a workflow

Importing a custom workflow into ZEDI populates the XML structure, and the workflow is displayed in the Execute tab. The workflow automatically generates the corresponding sample codes.

1. Open a workflow by clicking File > Import.

Result: The custom workflow is displayed with a blue flag icon, under the Workflows tab on the right-hand pane.

You can import only XML files.
