Share workflows & collaborate

1. Share workflows & collaborate

Let's discuss how to collaborate by sharing workflows.

2. Sharing & collaboration

Now that you have used various data transformation techniques, along with data integrations, to build a workflow,

3. Sharing & collaboration

you will be sharing it with your team or the community via the KNIME Community Hub.

4. KNIME Community Hub

The KNIME Community Hub lets you share your workflows, learn from others, and collaborate with users from various fields, helping you innovate and improve your KNIME skills.

5. Sharing with team

When you share the workflow with your team, they can use it as a reference to learn and create new workflows on their own.

6. Sharing with team

Also, they could modify some aspects of the workflow and collaborate with you.

7. Sharing with team

Lastly, the team can use the workflow for regulatory checks or documentation. This is why it's essential to add details to the workflow, making it easy for users to interpret.

8. Workflow description

Add a description to the workflow that covers key points like the workflow's objective, the data used, the main steps performed, and the expected output. Consider adding more details that can help users in interpreting the workflow.

9. Workflow tags

Next, identify the theme of the workflow and add relevant tags to the workflow.

10. Search & retrieve

Now, when you search on the KNIME Community Hub, it looks through these workflow descriptions and tags to find and retrieve relevant workflows.

11. KNIME component

After understanding workflow collaboration, now let's explore KNIME components, and how it enhances teamwork. Often, workflows contain segments that are repeated multiple times.

12. KNIME component

You can encapsulate these repeated segments into a KNIME component.

13. KNIME component

Now that you have built the component, it can be easily reused and shared.

14. Adding configuration

Additionally, component let's you bundle functionality which means it can have its own configuration dialog and interactive view.

15. Adding configuration

For example, you can add a configuration dialog where the user can select the column of their choice.

16. Adding visualization

Further, you can add visual aspects to the component. This could be graphs, charts, or even formatted texts.

17. Component view

This opens a component view that shows the bar graph plotted using the column chosen by user.

18. Component details

Now that you have bundled the functionality of filtering data and visualizing it, add component description on what is the objective, what are the options in the configuration dialog and the expected output. Lastly add the tags based on the functionality of the component.

19. Ready to collaborate

Finally, after building workflows and components, and adding descriptions and details, you can share them with your team or the community and start collaborating.

20. Let's practice!

Let's practice building components and sharing workflows in the exercises.
