Nesting Worflows after the fact

David Mettenburg

What is the best approach for making an existing workflow a nested workflow in a different workflow?

 

e.g. I've built a workflow for a detailed process...and later on someone asks for the "overarching" workflow to be created so they can see how the original workflow fits in the "big picture" context?

 

I tried dragging one into a blank subprocess window (right click on activity -> create workflow model)

 

that makes all of the sources and sinks get messed up -- as well as it graphically becomes a nightmare.

 

thanks

when you create your 'overarching' workflow, you simply SELECT (rather than add) the activity object which was the subject of your nested workflow & then everything will connect & nest correctly!
