Workflow Template

When creating a workflow I generally open a "TEMPLATE" first and then immediately save it to the "NEW WORKFLOW NAME".  My template includes all my preferences that aren't set naturally within the user settings and won't get RESET by them either.  It has a comment box and containers as well as logos and copyrights.  It would be nice to have ready access to this feature.  Maybe others have standards that they want applied to all users and their workflows too.

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

It would be great for enterprise customers if they had an ability to manage the start here.yxmd as part of the distribution of the software. It would give them the ability to either provide the company approved template out of the box which would drive adoption of it, and negate the need to direct users to overwrite it (plus as Joe states there are sometimes admin rights that will need to be obtained).

Or alternatively using the similar format to the current start here file, but to update links to internal corporate pages, such as how a user can request office hours, links to internal knowledge articles etc.

Similar to this idea - definitely recognize the need for this type of functionality for customers/enterprise organizations that want developers to adhere to certain standards/best practices/workflow formats.
