Workflow pipelines
You can add any number of processing pipelines to a workflow. Within the workflow, you can order your processing pipelines in any way you want. When a task runs for a workflow, documents pass through each pipeline in the workflow in sequential order.
For information on processing pipelines, see Processing pipelines and stages.
Adding pipelines to a workflow
You can add any existing processing pipeline to a workflow.
To add existing pipelines to a workflow:
Procedure
Click on the Workflow Designer panel.
Click on the workflow that you want.
Click on the Processing panel.
Click on Add Pipeline +
Select a pipeline from the drop-down menu.
Select an execution mode for the pipeline.
Click on the Add to Workflow button.
Reordering pipelines in a workflow
Documents pass through the pipelines in a workflow one after the other. When ordering the pipelines in a workflow pipeline, make sure that each pipeline can receive the output of the pipeline that precedes it. For more information, see Best practices for configuring stages and pipelines.
To reorder pipelines in a workflow:
Procedure
Click the Workflow Designer window.
Select the workflow that you want.
Click the Processing window.
Click and drag the pipelines into the order that you want.
Removing pipelines from a workflow
You can remove a pipeline from a workflow at any time. If you do this while a task is running for that workflow, any documents retrieved after the pipeline was removed will not be processed by that pipeline.
When you remove a pipeline, make sure that the pipeline after the one you're deleting can accept the output of the pipeline before the one you're deleting. If it cannot, you may need to reconfigure your pipelines.
To remove pipelines from a workflow:
Procedure
Click on the Workflow Designer panel.
Click on the workflow that you want.
Click on the remove icon (
)
for the pipeline you want to remove.
