CAD Publisher Pipeline Editor

Owned by Mark Anderson
Last updated: Mon Jul 10, 2023

Centro pipelines are the essential force behind Centro's flexibility and strength. The Pipeline Editor is a drag and drop interface that allows authorized users to create and edit Centro pipelines.

Navigate to the Pipeline Editor by creating a new pipeline from the Pipeline Manager or editing a currently existing one.

A. Breadcrumb path

Use the breadcrumb to quickly navigate back to previous locations such as the Pipeline Manager.

B. Job Allocation Triggers

This lists the available Job Allocation Triggers. Use a trigger to start the definition of your pipeline.

To add a trigger to the pipeline: 

  1. Mouse over the trigger of choice.
  2. Once the trigger icon is askew, drag and drop it to the pipeline in the trigger landing area.
    Wait until the dashed line appears. This indicates the trigger landing area is ready to accept the trigger.

Note

Only one trigger per pipeline is permitted.

C. Pipeline Trigger

This area shows the trigger being used in the pipeline.

Use the respective icons to edit or remove a trigger from the pipeline.

D. Job Actions

This lists all the available Job Actions available to use in the pipeline.

To add a job action to the pipeline:

  1. Drag and drop triggers and actions into the pipeline column. Wait until the dashed landing area appears before releasing the mouse button.
     

E. Pipeline Actions

  • The pipeline actions are listed in the order they are executed. 

  • Reorder the pipeline actions by dragging and dropping into a new location.

    Tip

    Remember the order of your actions must make sense. For example, even though the pipeline editor allows it, you don't want to have your thumbnail PNG image uploaded to the Catalog before it's generated.



  • Edit, disable or remove a trigger or action by clicking on the appropriate button.
     

Tip

Remember to click the Save button when disabling/enabling or removing actions.


F. Editing and Finishing Buttons

Pipeline Details

The pipeline name as well as buttons to edit and save a pipeline appear here.

  • Click the Edit button to view and change the pipeline details.
  • Click the Save button to save changes to the pipeline such as:
    • Enabling/disabling an action
    • Changing the order of actions
    • Deleting actions

Return to Previous Page

To return back to the previous page, click the Done button.
