How can I use published study objects in workflows?

You can develop study workflows in either a study or a library, and you can use study objects found in a Libraries tab search to define a workflow in a study in the following ways:
  • Add a published study object to a workflow—You can drag a published study object from the Libraries tab to a workflow tab in a study (for example, you can drag a published study event to the Workflow Diagram tab in the Study Editor or Study Element Editor). When you do this, the study object from the Libraries tab is added to the workflow in the study.
  • Replace a published study object in a workflow—You can drag a published study object from the Libraries tab onto a study object in a study (for example, you can drag a published form from the Libraries tab and drop it onto a form object in the Workflow Diagram tab in the Study Event Editor of a study). When you do this, the study object from the Libraries tab replaces the definition of the study object. This method enables you to create an outline of a study workflow without defining the properties of the study objects and then to replace the placeholder study objects with fully defined, published study objects.
