Workflows

What is a Workflow?  

A workflow is a configurable series of steps that provides an easy automation framework to connect and manage Directory object synchronization. Activities such as creating, updating and deleting objects along with property/attribute synchronization and transformation.

 

How do I create and manage Workflows?  

 

To create a Worklfow, simply open the left navigation menu and click Create a Workflow in the side navigation menu, see figure 1, or click the New button under Workflows on the dashboard. The Workflow Wizard will open and will guide you through the creation of the Workflow.

To manage a Workflow, click the Manage button under Workflows on the dashboard.

What should be entered as the Workflow Name?  

You can name your workflow anything you'd like but remember that you may be referencing the same environment in multiple workflows. We suggest a name that generally describes the flow of objects. Then use the description field for the distinguishing characteristics. After this step, the wizard will guide you through all the necessary components that will make up your workflow.

 

What are the steps to create a Workflow?  

Entra ID for Devices uses a wizard interface to guide you through the steps of creating and configuring the Workflow. To launch the wizard, click Create a Workflow in the side navigation menu or click the New button under Workflows on the dashboard.

Environments

What is an Environment?  

If a workflow is a series of action steps, an environment is the receiver of those actions. In the Workflow Wizard, you will choose two environments, a source and a target, that the workflow will take actions against.

 

Where do I manage Environments?  

To manage environments, select an environment from the Environment Summary table on the dashboard and click the Manage button.

 

How are Environments added?  

The Workflow Wizard will guide you in adding a Source and Target Environment.

 

How do you export a list of Users, Groups, Contacts, and Devices in an environment?  

On the dashboard, click the Manage button under the Environment Summary table. On the Environments page, select an environment and click the Details button. Expand an object list and click the Export button to download a CSV file of the Users, Groups, Contacts, and Devices.

 

How do you unmatch Users, Groups, Contacts, and Devices so they will not be synchronized?

On the dashboard, click the Manage button under the Environment Summary table. On the Environments page, select an environment and click the Details button. Expand an object list.select an object in the table and click the Unmatch button. The Match Status for the object will change to "Unmatched" and the object will not be synchronized.
