You will learn
- How to start a workflow instance for a scenario
Prerequisites
- Set up the Workflow Management service. For more information, see the Set Up Workflow Management in Cloud Cockpit tutorial.
- You have set up the business rules for determining equipment. To set the business rules up, see the Set Up Business Rules for Determining Equipment tutorial.
Once you have modelled and activated the visibility scenario, navigate to the Monitor Workflows application and start a new instance of the workflow. Once the workflow has started, you will see the start and other events being received in the Event Acquisition application. You can process them using the Monitor Visibility Scenarios application.

-
Click Show Instances to view the created instance.
You should be able to see the newly created workflow instance.
Step 2: Open new workflow
-
Click Home and navigate to the home screen.
You should be able to see a new task in the My Inbox tile in the running state.
-
Click the My Inbox tile to open the application. You can see the new task in the list.
