Workflow Web Service Node

A Workflow Web Service location must be configured before business processes can be started from the Laserfiche client applications.

The Workflow Web Service node, under Server Configuration in the Workflow Administration Console, lets you configure the Web application directory that the Laserfiche client applications will use to connect to the Workflow Server.

If the Workflow Web Service was not configured using the Workflow Configuration Manager or if the web service location was changed from its default, this node allows you to modify the web application directory to reflect the changes.

Tip: If your Workflow Web Service is not functioning as intended, see Troubleshooting the Workflow Web Service.
