A method for providing client application integration for workflow management includes receiving a verification file, accessing a file through a client application, determining, based on the verification file, whether the accessed file includes a reference to a workflow component of a workflow stored on a server, retrieving the workflow component from the server, and displaying the workflow component referenced by the accessed file via an in-line user interface of the client application, further including displaying at least one selectable workflow management option for managing the workflow component using the client application.

Client application integration for workflows

Integrated workflow visualization and editing is provided using a visual graphic diagramming tool and a web application platform tool to create a workflow. A visual representation of a workflow is created using the visual graphic diagramming tool. A declarative markup language file representing the workflow is provided to a web application platform tool for further modification of the workflow. The workflow is opened in the web application platform tool and desired parameters in the workflow are set. Visualization data from the graphic diagramming tool and the set parameters are bundled in a single declarative markup language file formatted for reading by both the visual graphic diagramming tool and the web application platform tool to allow manipulations and parameterization of the workflow in both the visual graphic diagramming tool and the web application platform tool.
