03. Publishing a Program

Programs are developed and edited on your local machine or device. In order to upload your work to the cloud, you need to PUBLISH your Program. This will make your changes visible and available to other users who may need to work on the Program.

Instructions:

Save a step and validate your Program before publishing (by clicking on the Validate button). 

Note: 

The Program will not be able to be published if there are any program errors detected.

Publishing a Program for the First Time

1. Click on the Publish button

Note: 

Publishing pushes all Scheduled Events to the cloud. Make sure your Scheduled Events are ready to GO LIVE before you publish the Program.

2. The WorkFlow Designer will automatically validate the program

• If errors are detected, a pop-up will alert you. For more details, you can review the errors in the right navigational panel. To find all errors associated with the program, you can click on the canvas without selecting any elements. To find an error associated with a specific element, please select the element in question.

• If no errors are detected, the Program will be successfully published

3. Once published, a lock icon will now appear on each element for collaboration. When elements are locked, users can view contents, but cannot edit.

Publishing Changes to a Previously-published Program

Note: 

Publishing pushes all Scheduled Events to the cloud. Make sure your Scheduled Events are ready to GO LIVE before you publish the Program.
