How do I add a workflow?

Workflow creation options

You have several options for adding workflows to NSP.

• Create a workflow. This procedure provides general steps. See the Network Automation tutorial on the Network Developer Portal for detailed information.

• Import a workflow from your computer.

• Import a workflow from Git.

• Install a workflow using Artifacts; see How do I install an artifact bundle?.

  Note: if an installed workflow appears with a red signature icon, there is a problem with the workflow. Try downloading and installing again. Contact Nokia if the problem persists.

• Clone a workflow and edit the clone as needed.

Note: Here are some things to know when setting up workflows.

• A workflow must pass validation before it can be saved in NSP. If you import a workflow that is not valid or clone a workflow and make changes that don’t pass validation, you must update it to fix the errors before you can add it to the workflow list.

• Workflows are imported in the DRAFT state. The state must be changed to PUBLISHED before the workflow is available to all users.

Sample workflow

When you create a workflow, sample YAML is populated as shown below, providing a basic structure for a workflow. You can use the sample as a guide or delete it and enter or copy and paste your own YAML code.
