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, the
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. 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 advanced users can view only the Activities
category view. For more information about user permissions, see
SAS Model Manager: Administrator's Guide.
