About the Workflow Repository

Workflow projects can be stored locally on the Workflow Server, or they can be stored in the Workflow Repository on the Symantec Management Platform. The Workflow Repository is a central location that lets you store, access, create versions, and view versions of your workflow projects and component libraries.

The Workflow Repository resides on the Symantec Management Platform on which you install Symantec Workflow Solution. You can access the Repository in the Symantec Management Console on the Workflow Enterprise Management page.

See Viewing the Workflow Repository

Before you can use Workflow Manager to access the Workflow Repository on the Symantec Management Platform you must do the following:

Have the Workflow Repository Users permission granted from the Symantec Management Platform.
Connect the Workflow Server to the Symantec Management Platform.
See Connecting to a Workflow Repository.

Table: What you can manage with the Repository

Item	Description
