Setting the default Collection of a Workflow Run

Laboperator supports the feature to automatically save newly created workflow runs to a default collection. This reduces the repetition of asking users every time they want to create a new workflow run from a workflow template.

There are two options for the users:

1. Setting the default workflow run collection for everyone in the same organization

2. Setting the default workflow run collection only for the individual user

First option: To set the default collection for everyone, click on the icon which is marked in the red box:

Click on “To collection” to select the desired collection that users want to save new workflow runs. By ticking on “Apply to everyone in the organization” and clicking on “SUBMIT”, this applies to everyone in the organization.

Second option: To set the default collection only for an individual user, click on ”NEW WORKFLOW RUN”.

Click on “To collection” to select the desired collection that users want to save new workflow runs, same as option 1. By ticking on “Don’t ask me again”, the newly created workflow runs of the same workflow template will be automatically saved in the chosen collection. For example in the screenshot below, all new workflow runs will be saved in RUNS.
