Export Workflow Dependencies

It would be extremely useful to quickly find which of my many workflows feed other workflows or reports.

 

A quick and easy way to do this would be to export the dependencies of a list of workflows in a spreadsheet format. That way users could create their own mapping by linking outputs of one workflow, to inputs of another.

 

Looking at the simple example below, the Customers workflow would feed the Market workflow.

 

WorkflowDependencyType
CustomersSQL Table 1Input
CustomersSQL Table 2Input
CustomersExcel File 1Input
CustomersExcel File 2Input
CustomersExcel File 3Output
MarketExcel File 3Input
MarketSQL Table 3Output

 

It would be CRAZY AWESOME if we could get a report like this for all scheduled workflows in the scheduler.
