This service is used to manage workflows. A workflow is a script that is uploaded to and managed by the appliance. Workflows can be parameterized and executed in a first-class fashion from either the browser interface or the command line interface. Workflows can also be executed as alert actions or at a designated time; thus, they can allow the appliance to be extended in ways that capture specific policies and procedures, and they can be used to formally encode best practices for a particular organization or application.
