Create workflows

To start with a new workflow we recommend to use the templates contained in kenaflow.exe.

How to create a new workflow:

• Go to the workflow root directory and create a new subdirectory.

• Change to this directory.

• Execute kenaflow.exe:

kenaflow.exe --new --wftype <workflow-type>

<workflow-type> can be one of the following values:

• list
• statemachine
• site
• email
• posh

Example:

kenaflow.exe --new --wftype list

• This command will fill the current directory.

• You must edit the workflow configuration file _wfconfig.ps1 to make some settings.

• You can now open the workflow script file in the PowerShell ISE or in Visual Studio Code.

• You must set the SharePoint address ("Web") and the list on which the workflow operates.

Each new workflow is initially disabled (Enabled = $false) so kenaflow would not execute it. This must be changed manually.
