User interface

The Workflow Editor user interface consists of five main areas:

  1. The Data Explorer — an object browser for the active Workbench application.

  2. The Toolbox — a list of components that can be used in a workflow.

  3. The Editing Area — the workspace where workflows are composed. Drag and drop components into the Editing Area so that they are added to the workflow.

  4. The Toolbox Filter — a function used to search for components.

  5. The Workflow Editor toolbar— a quick access point for common functions.

  6. The Maptek Extend Ribbon — a feature which provides quick access to common functions from Maptek Extend. Maptek Extend is an umbrella term for the following products: the Workflow Editor and the Maptek and Vulcan SDKs. This tool is only accessible in Ribbon mode.
