API Reference for data/ProvisioningWorkflow

Provisioning Workflows are a combination of one or more operations on entities, scripts and other workflows in a sequence according to a condition. Entity operations can be to add, delete or update if a specified condition holds. A Configuration Template can also be associated with this operation on the entity. This association with a template can for example provide default values or calculated values (from macros) to the entity during the Provisioning Workflow execution. An operation can also specify the inclusion of another workflow under a specified condition. For delete and update operations, the operation can be refined by specifying Advanced find options for the selected entity so that the operation can be applied to a specific instance of the entity. Scripts can also be executed on a device as part of a workflow. Provisioning Workflow operations can also loop through List Macros, assigning list items to an Assigned Variable for reference in other macros or Configuration Templates. List Macros in Provisioning Workflows enable batch operations and nested looping. Refer to the Macro Syntax section in the General Help.
