Accessing the Editor
Login to the Anvl Manager Dashboard at insights.anvl.com.
In the top-right corner, click the caret menu next “Welcome, Back [Your Name]!” to open the dropdown menu.
Click Editor.
Note: If you don't see the Editor option in the menu, contact your Anvl point of contact to request access.
Navigating the Editor
The left-hand menu (☰ icon) allows you to toggle groups, Published workflows, and Drafts.
Published: All active workflows.
Drafts: In-progress workflow templates.
Groups: Use the Group drop-down menu to toggle between Groups and see the corresponding workflows.
The workflow diagram appears in the middle of the Editor screen.
Select a Published or Draft workflow to open the right-hand menu.
Workflow: Details of the workflow template.
Name: The name of the workflow template that is displayed to the end-user.
Categories: Groupings of similar workflow questions that are displayed as sections.
Where does this appear to the end-user? At the bottom of the screen when completing the workflow and on the completed workflow page.
Save: save the template as a Draft.
The button to open Mobilize is also on the right-hand side of the screen. Use Mobilize to generate new workflow templates instead of starting from an existing template.
Creating a New Workflow with Mobilize
Click Mobilize (top-right corner).
Choose an input method:
Type a text prompt (e.g., “Generate a Lockout / Tagout workflow”) and select Send.
Upload a file. Wait for the file to process.
Use both text and file input.
Click Generate Template once processing is complete and enter a name for the draft.
The new workflow draft will appear under "Drafts."
Understanding Workflow Components
Every workflow consists of:
Workflow Questions: Core content of the workflow.
Routes: The pathways of the workflow (Default, Rule).
Nodes
Start Node: Required starting point.
End Node: Required (one or more); Completes the workflow.
Notes Node: Required starting point for Notes added after the workflow is completed.
Back to Dashboard: Optional node that sends the user back to the Anvl app dashboard and keeps the workflow in-progress.
Editing Workflows
Click on a workflow in Drafts.
Add new questions:
Open the library.
Drag & drop new questions into the workflow diagram.
Edit questions: Click a question to modify text, type, category, and other configurable options.
Delete questions (⚠️ Deleting existing questions may break reports): Select the Question and hit the backspace/delete key.
Configure Routes (workflow paths): Drag from one node to another to create new routes.
Default Route: The standard path if no conditions apply.
Rule-Based Route: Conditional logic paths (e.g., If user selects “No,” follow a different branch).
Configuring Routes
Routes determine the pathway a user follows throughout the workflow. To create a new route, drag from the endpoint of one question to the starting point of the next question.
Each question must have one default route leading from it. Routes are color-coded by their type:
Blue: Default
Yellow: Intervention
Red: Stop
Black: Rule
When you click on a route, you have configuration options:
Type: Default or Rule
Default: The standard pathway
Rule: Follows conditional logic
Launch New Workflow: Select a workflow to launch from that pathway
Escalation Type: None, Intervention, or Stop
For Rule routes, use the Rule Builder to set up the logic:
Match: User input must exactly match the selected value
Any of These: User can select any of the checked options
All of These: User must select all options (used with checklist and multi-select questions)
For Advanced Rule Logic, click the code editor button (stars) to set up advanced logic. To return to the Rule Builder, click the wrench icon.
Publishing a Workflow Template
Open Drafts in the left-hand menu.
Click the Rocket Icon (🚀) next to the workflow.
Choose to update an existing template or create a new one:
Update: Modifies an existing workflow.
Create: Generates a new workflow template.
Assign the workflow category and groups.
Click Publish. If configurations are incomplete, an error message will appear.
The workflow will now be available under Published workflows.
Delete a Workflow Draft
Open Drafts in the left-hand menu.
Click the Trash Can Icon (🗑️) next to the workflow.
NOTE: The draft will now be deleted for everyone.

JSON Logic Guide for Advanced Workflow Logic
Use this guide to apply logic rules in workflows (e.g., show/hide fields, require answers, etc.).
Format
Each logic rule uses this structure:
{ "operator": [ value1, value2 ] }
Variables
To reference a field’s answer:
{ "var": "Field Name" }
Field names are case-sensitive. Use the exact label from the workflow.
Logic Nesting
Operators can be nested inside each other for more complex conditions.
{"or":[{"in":["Eye Protection",{"var":"response"}]},{"in":["Face Shields",{"var":"response"}]}]}
The example above reads as: If the response is either “Eye Protection” OR “Face Shields”
Supported Operators
"==", Equals
"!=", Not equal
"!", NOT (negation)
"in", Checks if a value exists in a list (used for checkboxes / multi-select)
"and", Returns true if all conditions are true
"or", Returns true if any condition is true
