Generate Link helps the user to construct a link which can be used to execute a workflow. This is supported for both User Workflows and Machine Workflows. Generate Link is located in the context menu in the server content panel.
User workflow links point to the web client and provide a direct link to a workflow execution.
Web Client Url this field should contain the url to the web client.
If the link is for the new web client, the URL will always be the same
If the link is for the legacy web client, the URL will differ per server
Server Url
If the link is for the legacy web client, leave this field empty
If the link is for the new web client, add the URL to the server
