Attaching a workflow to a service

Before you begin

Create a service, or modify an existing service. For more information, see Adding-and-updating-services.

To attach a workflow to a service

You can add a new workflow to a service only after you add it to the Workflows Library. 

1. In BMC Helix Digital Workplace Catalog, select Services > Services, and open a service.
2. On the Service Options pane, click Edit next to Workflow. 
3. On the Workflow & Questions pane, click Add next to Workflow.
4. In the Workflow Library, search for an existing workflow that you would like to attach to a service. 

5. Select a workflow, and then click Save.

   Important

   You can filter the available workflows by workflow name, or by catalog name. If a workflow belongs to your subcatalog, you can edit the workflow as required. If a workflow does not belong to your subcatalog, you will not be able to edit it. You can only attach it to your service.

To add a new workflow to the Workflow Library

1. Add new workflows to the Workflows library in one of the following ways:
   
   • By using the New Workflow action available in the Workflow Library, available from the Service Management page.
   • By using the New Workflow action available from the Workflows page.

2. Complete the following fields:
   
   

   Important

   The Catalog list is available only to you if you are a service catalog administrator. You can assign a subcatalog for the workflow, so that administrators of the subcatalog will be able to modify it as required. If you do not select a subcatalog, the workflow will a part of the Master subcatalog, and other users will be able to associate this workflow with their services, but will not be able to modify it.

After you attach a workflow to the service, add a questionnaire to the service.
