The SAS Model Manager
Workflow Console is an interface to SAS Workflow that you can use
to track the progress of a modeling project or version. A SAS Model
Manager administrator or a SAS administrator uses SAS Workflow Studio
to define process definitions and to make them available to SAS Model
Manager for use. Process definitions contain the set of activities,
participants, policies, statuses, and data objects that comprise a
business task. After the process definitions are made available, a
SAS Model Manager administrator uses Workflow Console to create workflow
instances to be used with SAS Model Manager. A
workflow
instance is a working version of a workflow process
definition. Each workflow instance consists of activities. Instances
and activities can contain user-defined properties and comments so
that you can share information with other users, or make notes. The
status that you select when completing an activity determines the
next activity in the workflow process.
From the SAS Model Manager
client application, you can view workflow instances, create a new
workflow instance for a project or version, and view your workflow
inbox to work with activities, depending on the user permissions.
The option that is selected and the user permissions determine the
category view and content that are displayed
when Workflow Console is launched. SAS Model Manager administrators
can view the Process Definitions, Instances, and Activities category
views of Workflow Console. SAS
Model Manager users and advanced users can view only the Activities
category view. For more information about user permissions,
see Configuring Users, Groups, and Roles in SAS Model Manager: Administrator's Guide.
