You can use workflows to automate business processes–both CommCell and external–using a set of predefined activities that are defined in a specific order.
To create and deploy workflows, the user must have administrative permissions on the CommServe server. Tenant administrators cannot create workflows. End users who have access to run a workflow cannot edit the workflow.
The Command Center includes predefined workflows, such as the Check Readiness workflow, which checks the connectivity of all the client computers within a client group. You can also create new workflows. Other workflows, such as business logic workflows, are available in the Commvault Store. The workflows in the Commvault Store include a readme that explains the workflow.
Capabilities
-
Quickly define business processes using predefined activities, instead of spending hours writing scripts, integrating programs with "glue-code," and building state machines.
-
Use the debug mode to see runtime information and activity inputs and outputs.
-
Design a workflow using a library that contains basic tasks.
-
Create workflows for common tasks and let end users run self-service workflows from the Web Console.

Automatically send emails or action items when something needs to be approved or reviewed.
-
Set workflow permissions to control the user actions, such as the ability to run a specific workflow but not modify it.
