A workflow is a collection of blocks that executes a set of commands to collect, process and display data.  

The animation below shows how a workflow can be created from two blocks.

Building a Workflow

Once you have dragged the blocks from the toolbox into the workspace you need to connect blocks together to make a workflow.

• Step 3: Check for errors
• Step 4: Run the workflow
• Step 5: View the output on the map

Step 1: Drag your blocks into the workspace

• As described in the Toolbox article, drag at least one INPUT block and one OUTPUT block into the workspace.
• One of each block is the minimum requirement for a workflow. 

Step 2: Connect the blocks together

• Drag the blocks together so the notches meet. 
• You will hear a "click", and the block will be highlighted, once they connect.

Step 3: Check for errors

• If a red triangle appears,  you are not yet ready to run the workflow.

• Click on the red triangle and a text bubble will appear telling you what you are missing. This may be that the dates are incompatible with the data selection, or you still need to add a necessary block to make the workflow run. 
• Follow the guidance in the text bubble.

Step 4: Run the workflow

• Click on the RUN WORKFLOW button to run the workflow.

• You can press the red stop button if you want to halt the process before it has finished running. 

Step 5: View the output on the map

• Now you need to look at the output on the map. 

For a quick start, use a pre-built workflow from the Workflows Library at the top of the workspace.
