GRC Workflow Designer components

The GRC Workflow Designer has the following components:

• Canvas

  The canvas is where you draw a workflow, create stages, and connect stages with actions.

• Toolbar

  Icons on the toolbar allow you to create stages and control the view and the behavior of the canvas.

• Stage and action list panel

  The stage and action list panel shows all stages and actions in the workflow. It can be displayed or hidden.

• Property panel

  The content of the property panel changes depending on what you select on the canvas. It can be the workflow properties, a selected stage's properties, or a selected action's properties.

The following example shows the GRC Workflow Designer components with the stage and action list hidden.

The GRC Workflow Designer toolbar contains the following icons:

• Toggle the stage and action list panel

  Opens and closes a panel that lists the stages and actions.

• Create a new workflow stage

• Center on workflow

  Displays the workflow properties in the property panel regardless of the item in focus on the canvas.
