Workflow Wizard

Overview

The Workflow Wizard is used to build all the components needed for specific workflow use cases through a series of steps, e.g. Sage Intacct → BlackLine GL Account balances.

Prerequisites

In order to fully utilize the Workflow Wizard, credentials will need to be set up beforehand. This will need to include both source and target system connections. See the https://datablend.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DS1/pages/1196228684 section for help on setting up credentials.
