About the Workflow Manager
The Workflow Manager allows organization administrators to create, edit, import, and export Ignition workflow definitions. To create or edit a workflow definition you can use the Canvas mode that is displayed by default when defining your workflow definition. For more information, see Creating a Workflow Definition in Canvas Mode.
You can also use the code editor to set up your own workflow definitions. The code editor also supports code snippets for all components that are available in the workflow definition editor. For more information, see Creating a Workflow Definition through the Code Editor.

The Workflow Manager page consists of a list of workflows, with the following columns:

| Created by | The user that created the workflow definition. |
| Created at | The date when the workflow definition was created. |
| Updated by | The user that last updated the workflow definition. |

Each workflow definition can be expanded to view all of its versions. Each version can be accessed in a separate page when clicking on the definition name of that version.
