Importing a Workflow File

You can export workflow files from one server configuration and then import them into another. You can also import a workflow file that has been checked out to your workstation or an accessible network location.

1. Click File > Import. The Import Workflow Document dialog box opens.
2. Locate a .Workflow.xml file and click OK. The Select Server dialog box opens.
3. Select the server configuration that will store this workflow file.
4. If the Log On dialog box appears, log on using a valid user name and password.
5. Click Select. Workflow Designer displays the workflow steps from the selected file in the workspace.

   If this workflow was created using a release of Workflow Designer prior to 5.2, a pile of linked steps appears in the upper left corner of the workspace. Within seconds, Workflow Designer applies its automatic layout routine, but you will probably prefer to apply an appropriate .flw file to this workflow so that it has the same look as in the old Workflow Designer.
