Installing Virto Workflow Automation Web Part

Before you begin, make sure you have access to the SharePoint server and that your account has the administrative privileges required to install applications.

Virto Workflow Automation—combining Virto SharePoint Workflow Activities, Virto Workflow Status Monitor, and Virto Workflow Scheduler—can be downloaded as a single package from the Virto Workflow Automation page.

Unzip the package (for example, Virto.SharePoint.SE.WorkflowAutomation.zip).

It contains two folders:

• Virto.SharePoint.WorkflowAutomation.Setup — the setup program (SetupSE.exe for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, Setup.exe for 2016 and 2019), Deploy.ps1 for installation from the SharePoint Management Shell, the solution Virto.SharePoint.WorkflowAutomation.wsp and the modern web part package virto-workflow-automation.sppkg;
• Virto.WebLicenseManager — Virto License Manager.

Run the setup program as a farm administrator and select the web applications and site collections where the product is installed and activated.

The setup wizard will open.

The Virto Workflow Automation setup wizard runs a pre-installation system check. All checks must pass before you can continue. When the checks finish, click “Next”.

Review the license agreement, select “I accept the terms in the License Agreement”, then click “Next”.

Select the web application(s) where you want to install the product.

Warning: To enable automatic feature activation, you must be signed in on the SharePoint server with a Site Collection Administrator account.

Then click “Next”.

Wait for the installation to complete, then click “Close”.

Now, run “SharePoint Central Administration“.

Check the installed apps by going to “VirtoSoftware products”.

Click the app you want to activate—in this example, Virto Workflow Automation.

Enter the license serial number.

Now go to “System Settings” → “Manage farm solutions” to verify the apps/solutions show a status of “Deployed”.

Confirm the features are active. On the target site, go to “Site contents” → “Site settings”.

Open “Manage site features” and “Site collection features” to verify Virto Workflow Automation is “Active”. If not, click “Activate”.

In site settings, you can also navigate to the Virto Workflow Status Monitor and Virto Workflow Scheduler apps.
