Use Blocks¶

Blocks are used to create workflows in PROOF. Each Block represents a specific functionality or model that can be executed within a workflow.

The Block is defined by its Template, which specifies the inputs, outputs, and execution logic of the block.

There are several predefined Block Templates available in PROOF that can be used to create workflows.

To use a Block in a workflow, you only need to select a Block from the available Templates list in the right sidebar of the PROOF Workflow Editor and drag and drop it onto the Workflow canvas.

After having positioned the Block on the canvas, you can connect its inputs and outputs to other Blocks in the workflow to define the data flow between them.

When selecting a Block on the canvas, you can see and configure some of its settings, e.g. the Block's visible name or color, in the Block Configuration panel that appears on the PROOF Workflow Editor.

If the Workflow is complete, you can save it and execute it using the START WORKFLOW button in the right upper corner of the PROOF Workflow Editor. Alternatively, you can also start a saved Workflow from the Monitoring panel in the PROOF UI (2nd menu in the left sidebar).

Use own Blocks¶

It is also possible to create your own Blocks by defining new Templates in PROOF. For this, see Creating new Block Templates.
