WFA 4.1: Web UI Mapped Out +

In this post I’ve mapped out (some of) the OnCommand Workflow Automation 4.1’s Web UI, with a few extra notes (hence the titular +).

Access the WFA 4.1 Web UI at:
https://{wfa_host:port}

1) Main Tabs

The WFA 4.1 Web UI has four tabs.

1.1) Portal Tab

This is the default tab under which you’ll see the available Workflow Categories and - to the right - the Workflows in the main panel. The default categories (and number of out-the-box workflows) are:

- Application Provisioning (1)
- Content Repository (5)
- Data Protection (20)
- Decommissioning (2)
- Getting Started (2)
- Migration (3)
- Miscellaneous (1)
- Setup (7)
- Storage Provisioning (17)
- Virtualization (2)
- No Category (2)

1.2) Execution Tab

Under the Execution tab, in the left bar, is:

Workflow
-- Execution Status
-- Recurring Schedules
-- Reservations
- Schedules
- Data Sources
- Credentials

User Management
-- Users
-- Active Directory Groups

1.3) Designer Tab

Under the Designer tab, in the left bar, is:

Workflow Design

-- Finders
-- Filters
-- Commands
-- Functions
-- Templates

Data Source Design

1.4) Storage Automation Store Tab

WFA links up with the Online Storage Automation Store (here) and displays the available packs in the WFA 4.1 Web UI (need internet connection for this). You can browse the available packs in the Web UI and click the ‘Download Pack’ button if you see something that you like.

2) Main Interface Other Buttons
