The SAS Model Manager
Workflow Console is an interface to SAS Workflow that you can use
to track the progress of a models in a project’s 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 to be used with SAS Model Manager. A
workflow is
a copy of a workflow process definition. Each workflow consists of
activities. Activities can contain 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 launch the Workflow Console to create
a new workflow or view the workflow for a version, manage all workflows,
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
Workflow Definitions, Workflows, and Activities category views of
Workflow Console. Other SAS Model Manager users can view only the
Activities category view. For more information about user permissions,
see
SAS Model Manager: Administrator's Guide.
