Adding Marketplace Workflows

In the ACTIVATE Marketplace, we have pre-configured workflow tools and templates you can use to complete your work.

This section is a quick-start guide for adding workflows. For more detailed information about the Marketplace, please see Navigating the Marketplace.

On the Workflows page, the workflow will appear in the Marketplace Workflows section. The workflow's version will be included in its Name and Tags.

Creating Local Workflows

Local workflows have their YAML defined within the ACTIVATE platform.

Navigate to the Workflows page.

On the next page, configure your workflow by entering a Workflow Name and selecting the Local workflow type. Optionally, enter a Description and Tags.

💡About Naming
When creating resources, the name you choose must be unique across your account. For example, you cannot have both a cluster and a storage resource named "demo".

Click Add Workflow.

Creating Remote Workflows

Remote workflows have a remotely defined YAML file and import files from a remote repository every time the workflow is executed. With this approach, workflow files are updated automatically whenever changes are saved in the remote repository.

Navigate to the Workflows page.

Favoriting Workflows

You can add frequently used workflows to your Home page for easy access.
