Learn documents this table through its pages: [Page 1501 "Workflow"](../page/1501.md) (1 Learn page).

## Properties

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Caption | Workflow |
| DataClassification | CustomerContent |
| Permissions | TableData "Workflow Step" = rimd, TableData "Workflow Step Instance" = rm |

## Fields

Explanation: the field's ToolTip in the code; without one, the ToolTip of a page control bound to the field (marked via the page); without that, its Caption (marked caption) when that differs from the name.

| No. | Name | Type | Explanation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Code | Code[20] | Specifies the workflow. <small>via [Page 1501 "Workflow"](../page/1501.md)</small> | NotBlank |
| 2 | Description | Text[100] | Specifies the workflow. <small>via [Page 1501 "Workflow"](../page/1501.md)</small> |  |
| 3 | Enabled | Boolean | Specifies that the workflow will start when the event in the first entry-point workflow step occurs. <small>via [Page 1501 "Workflow"](../page/1501.md)</small> |  |
| 4 | Template | Boolean | — |  |
| 5 | Category | Code[20] | Specifies the category that the workflow belongs to. <small>via [Page 1501 "Workflow"](../page/1501.md)</small> | TableRelation [Table 1508 "Workflow Category"](../table/1508.md) (Workflow Category) |

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 1521 "Workflow Response Handling"](../codeunit/1521.md) (3 calls: `CheckRecordChangedWorkflows → ApplyNewValuesCode`, `CheckRecordChangedWorkflows → RevertValueForFieldCode`, `CheckResponseOptions → HasRequiredArguments`)
- [Codeunit 1502 "Workflow Setup"](../codeunit/1502.md) (2 calls: `CanDelete → OnAllowEditOfWorkflowTemplates`, `CheckEditingIsAllowed → OnAllowEditOfWorkflowTemplates`)
- [Codeunit 4100 "Temp Blob"](../codeunit/4100.md) (2 calls: `ExportToBlob → CreateOutStream`, `ImportFromBlob → CreateInStream`)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC23-30
- Changed (declaration) in: BC24

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "table", object_name: "Workflow")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
