Permanent Workflows

A permanent workflow is a workflow that runs continuously on a consistent schedule based on business needs or requirements. In EmpowerID, a permanent workflow can only run on one worker role container (server) at a time, and only one instance of the permanent workflow can run at a time. EmpowerID ships with several permanent workflows out of the box, but you can create new ones in Workflow Studio as needed.

EmpowerID uses default settings for each workflow if no configuration is applied. Default settings are defined on each workflow View One page. To view the View One page for a permanent workflow, navigate to the Find Permanent Workflows page by expanding Infrastructure Admin > EmpowerID Servers and Settings and selecting Permanent Workflows from the navbar. Once on the Find Permanent Workflows page, click the Display Name link for the workflow whose View One page you want to view.
