Design Workflow
- Drag the 'Run' command from the Toolkit
- Enter the Run Task parameters. For the purposes of this example, we run a task to check inventory levels as shown in Screenshot 2. A text file will be created for all items for which inventory is less than or equal to re-order levels.
- Check for existence of the text file 'Items to Order'. IF file exists then run the task to place order.
- If for some reason the above place order task is unsuccessful, send email notification to the concerned persons.
- The complete workflow for Inventory Management is shown below.

| When you run this workflow, it checks the inventory levels with re-order levels and creates a text file for all items
less than or equal to re-order levels. Based on that it takes further appropriate actions. |
