Understanding the Workflow Canvas

The workflow canvas is the area where you can build algorithm flows. When you open a workflow, the following icons and fields are displayed.

The workflow screen has four panes as given below.

Task Pane: This pane displays the datasets and algorithms that can be used in the workflow.
Function Pane: This pane displays the various functions that can be performed on the workflow.
Workflow Canvas: The work area where you can drag-and-drop algorithms and datasets to create workflows.
VIEW LOG: This tab displays the logs and activity trace of the workflow execution.

The table given below describes the fields and icons present on the Workflow Canvas.

Icons/Fields		Description
Task pane		It displays the list of datasets and algorithms that can be used in the workflow.
	Name of the workflow	It displays the title of the workflow.
	Zoom	It helps to move your point of view closer to or further away from the canvas. It works as a screen magnifier which changes the detailing level of the canvas to be seen.
	Minimap	It displays a scaled down version of the workflow.
	Save	It saves your workflow.
	Save As	It saves your workflow with a different name. You can save workflows in the same workspace either in same project different project a newly created project While saving workflows you can save them In the same project with a different name In a different project with the same/different name In a new project (you can create a new project while using the save as option) while saving them All properties/characteristics/data in the workflows are also saved in the new entity. If your workflow contains any variable created using the Manage Variable option, they are NOT carried forward in the newly saved location.
	Run	It runs the created algorithm flow.
	Variable	It allows you to create Variable.
