Workflow Folders

When you have many automations, a flat list is hard to scan. Use Folders to group workflows and scripts in the Workflows sidebar. For example, make one folder for each team, process, or lifecycle stage.

Create a folder

  1. Open the Workflows section of your base.
  2. Click Create New and select Folder. You can also use the New folder option in the sidebar.
  3. Type a name for the folder.

A folder can hold workflows and scripts. You cannot put a folder inside another folder.

Move items into a folder

  • To move a workflow or script into a folder:
    1. Open the ... actions menu next to the workflow or script.
    2. Select Move to....
    3. Select the folder. To make a new folder, select New folder in the same submenu.
  • To take an item out of a folder, select Move to... → Remove from folder.

Manage folders

Open the ... menu on a folder to:

  • Expand all / Collapse all folders in the sidebar.
  • Select an Icon colour. Use it to color-code teams or priorities.
  • Rename folder.
  • Delete folder. NocoDB moves the items in the folder back to the top level. It does not delete them.

Workflow status indicators

Each workflow in the sidebar has a status dot. The dot shows the state of the workflow without opening it:

DotStatusMeaning
GreenLiveThe workflow is published and enabled.
GreyPausedThe workflow is published but disabled.
BlueUnpublishedThe draft has changes that are not in the published version, or nothing is published yet.
