Summary

By default, the Workflow Manager service is not recognized as a valid service type in 10.2 Portal for ArcGIS, however the service can be added and shared as a document through Portal.

Instructions provided describe how to add an ArcGIS Workflow Manager service as a document to Portal for ArcGIS.

7. Specify a title and tags suitable for the item and click the Add Item button.
