The SAS Model Manager
Workflow Console is an interface to SAS Workflow that you can use
to track the progress of models at the version level of a project.
A SAS Model Manager administrator or a SAS administrator uses SAS
Workflow Studio to define workflow definitions and to make them available
to SAS Model Manager for use. Workflow definitions contain the set
of activities (or tasks), participants, policies, statuses, and data
objects that comprise a business task. Activities can be associated
with a milestone and model management components. After the workflow
definitions are made available, the SAS Model Manager administrator
uses the Workflow Console to create a workflow to be used with SAS
Model Manager. A
workflow is a copy of
a workflow 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.
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 the
Workflow Console is launched. SAS Model Manager administrators can
view the Workflow Definitions, Workflows, and Activities category
views of the 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.
