Low-code workflows

Every Datagrok script is a function that consumes and returns data. However, Datagrok scripts are not interactive.

To enable interactive multi-step data processing, Datagrok provides the low-code workflow capabilities. A workflow consists of a series of connected steps, where outputs from one step can serve as inputs for another. Users can execute these workflows step-by-step, examining intermediate results and adjusting parameters for subsequent steps.

Datagrok low-code workflow capabilities​

  • Organize a series of steps into a workflow.
  • Change inputs and review outputs for each step
  • Ensure workflow consistency – identify and rerun all steps which input data have changed.
  • Dynamically modify the workflow scheme: change step order, add/remove steps, apply the same step several times
  • Put restrictions on step order and connections
  • Make nested workflows — use a workflow as a step of another workflow.

Simply put, workflows create a flexible sequence of steps that users can modify, with automatic input population based on outputs from previous steps. Any individual script can serve as a building block within a workflow. The platform automatically generates a user interface for each script using RichFunctionView.
