Add a module to a scenario

A scenario is comprised of a series of modules that indicate how data should be transformed within an app or transferred between apps and web services. You build a module by adding and configuring modules.

This article describes the basic process of adding a module to a scenario. For more specific instructions about ways to add a scenario, see the other articles under Add modules: article index.

NOTE
Workfront Fusion is transitioning the scenario editor to a new experience. During this transition, both the classic and new experiences are available, and you can switch between them at any time. We recommend using the new experience. For more information, see New and classic experiences in the article Scenario editor.
