# How to Create a Workflow

Admin Content

Workflows are designed as List type attributes residing on the entities that are the subject of a process. This means that you can run a workflow on many entities in 12d Synergy, such as:

- Jobs
- Folders
- Files
- 12d Model Projects
- Tasks
- Issues

Let us take an example of a file-based workflow and see the steps involved in creating it.

1. [Define a file attribute of list type.](/v1/docs/define-a-file-attribute-of-list-type)
2. [Build the workflow or draw the workflow chart with states and transitions.](/v1/docs/designing-a-workflow)
3. [Define the Transitions](/v1/docs/define-the-transitions).
