Adding Nodes to Workflows

Workflows are made up of nodes, representing processes, which will eventually turn into tasks.

NOTE

When renaming nodes, DO NOT USE SPACES. USE UNDERSCORES. Spaces in process names will cause issues when pushing assets to Toon Boom Harmony.

NOTE

Since nodes can be connected in a non-linear manner, the order of the tasks in the dashboard will be based on the X-axis value of the node. Leftmost nodes will be shown first, and rightmost nodes will be shown last. Even if nodes are connected in different flows, it is the X-axis value that will determine the ordering.
