Workato UI
Let’s quickly review the Workato platform UI.
When you first login, you will see a navigation bar and an Assets and Projects hierarchy. Assets include Recipes and Connections.
Projects help you create, organize, and manage your automation lifecycle to meet your business goals by grouping people and assets that work together. We’ll go over Projects in a moment.
If you hover over the navigation bar, you will have quick access to Recipes, your Dashboard, and the Community Library. We’ll talk more about these in later videos.
You will also have access to settings, tools, and advanced functionality, which will be covered in other courses.
Before moving on, we would like to highlight various support channels available to you. In these support channels, you can get help easily should you run into issues at any point during your learning process or while you are building your automations.
First, let’s explore Workato resources at www.workato.com/resources. Here, you can review tutorials, read solution articles, or get help from the larger Workato community.
Next, you can access documentation directly at docs.workato.com. You can navigate through documentation page trees or search for specific keywords.
Back in the Workato platform, you can click the lightbulb icon in the bottom right to bring up the Workato Resource Hub. Here, you can quickly link to docs, the Automation Institute for more courses, and Live Chat. Live Chat gives you access to Workato's product support and is available 24 hours, seven days a week, all year round to ensure that you can get all the assistance you need promptly and effectively.
In the Projects view, you may notice the Home assets project. This is standard across all legacy Workato accounts and is the default location of any assets you create.
As a best practice, we recommend keeping your Project hierarchy tidy by grouping projects by business function (for example, all HR automations), by business goal or process (such as, all automations for employee onboarding), or by product or service (like a set of recipes for error management). Projects can contain recipes, connections, folders and subfolders.
For now, we’re going to create a training project as our workspace during this course.
1
Click the plus icon next to Projects and name the project My Training Project.
2
Feel free to name the project after yourself if you are part of a team account, for example Mary's Training Project, as there may be others on your team who are also undergoing training.
3
We recommend providing a description for any project you create so other team members know who this project belongs to and what it comprises.
Within Projects, you can create folders to further organize assets. Hovering over a project will give you the options to create folders, rename the project, or delete the project.
Access control can be fine-grained such that within a team only certain members can access certain projects and folders. If you are unable to create a project, or a folder within a project, contact your administrator to obtain the correct access before moving on to the next video.
Once you have created your training project, you are ready to learn more about recipes.
