      Export and Import Workflows

      To transfer workflows to other Business Central databases, for example to save time when creating new workflows, you can export and import workflows.

      Another way to quickly create workflows is to create workflows from workflow templates. For more information, see Create Workflows from Workflow Templates.

      On the Workflow page, you create a workflow by listing the involved steps on the lines. Each step consists of a workflow event, moderated by event conditions, and a workflow response, moderated by response options. You define workflow steps by filling fields on workflow lines from fixed lists of event and response values representing scenarios that are supported by the application code. For more information, see Create Workflows.
