WALKOFF is an automation platform enabling plug and play integration of devices through apps. By employing an app based architecture, integration capabilities only need to be written once and can be swapped in and out as needed.

Capabilities within WALKOFF apps can then be tied together to form Workflows. Workflows are defined in an XML format making them easily sharable across environments and organizations.

Apps can also have custom interfaces enabling app developers to uniquely display information. WALKOFF not only makes it easier for users to automate their work but to also quickly find and visualize information as well.

Walkoff apps can be found at: https://github.com/iadgov/WALKOFF-Apps

1. Custom app interfaces

   • Interfaces are built using HTML/CSS/Javascript with back-end functionality using Python.

   • Capability to stream data to interfaces.

2. User and Role based authentication

3. Case based logging

   • Can granularly configure which events to log on a per-case basis

4. Drag and Drop Workflow Editor

   • Makes creation and editing of workflows as easy as dragging and dropping capablities.

5. Flexible Workflow Execution

   • Manual Execution - Execute a workflow by pressing a button

   • Active Execution - Cron style workflow execution

     Run workflow every 8 hours for the next 3 months

   • Passive Execution - Trigger a workflow based upon data sent to Walkoff

   • Ability to pause and resume workflows enabling human in the loop execution

6. Metrics *How often are certain apps run?

   *How often workflows are run?

Python 2.7+ or Python 3.4+ Tested on Windows and Linux

Requirements for apps may differ
