FTT workflows define the testing logic for your building equipment. Each workflow specifies the sequences of commands, sensor readings, success criteria, and report output for a specific test type. Cloud BMS provides a pre-configured library of workflows and a logic builder for creating custom tests.
Navigate to FTT from the left sidebar, select the three-dot menu at the top right, and choose Workflows.
Most sites start with the library. Run a library workflow on one device before you edit logic. See What is Functional Testing? for how a heating workflow decides pass or fail, and What is Functional Testing? for an on-demand run. Custom authoring is covered in the Workflow creator guide.

​
Workflows list

The workflows list displays all available workflows with key details. Use the search bar and Canonical Type filter to find specific workflows.

Row actions

Select the three-dot menu on any workflow row to access available actions:

Row actions available from the three-dot menu on a workflow

  • Edit Workflow: open the workflow in the logic builder
  • Export Workflow: export the selected workflow as a JSON file
  • Duplicate Workflow: create a copy of the workflow
  • Delete Workflow: permanently remove the workflow

​
Export workflows

Export workflows to share them across sites or create backups.
  1. Select Export from the top toolbar.
  2. Select the checkboxes next to the workflows you want to export.
  3. Select Export. The workflows download as an FTT Export.json file.

Select workflows to export with checkboxes, then select Export

You can also export a single workflow directly from the row actions three-dot menu by selecting Export Workflow.

​
Import workflows

Import workflows from a previously exported JSON file.
  1. Select Import from the top toolbar.
  2. Choose a file or drag and drop the JSON export file into the upload area.

  1. Review the imported workflows. Use the search bar and Canonical Type filter to find specific workflows.
  2. Select the workflows you want to import. For each workflow, choose whether to Replace an existing workflow or create a new one.
  3. Select Import to complete the process, or Discard to cancel.

Create a workflow

1

Set workflow details

Select + Create Workflow. Complete the required fields on the Workflow Details tab:

The Workflow Details tab with name, description, max duration, and device configuration

Select + Add Devices to configure the base and reference devices for the workflow. Set the device name, select canonical types, and choose the required entities.

Build the logic

Open the Logic tab. Drag and drop logic blocks from the left panel onto the canvas to build the testing sequence.

A standard workflow follows this structure:
  1. Initial conditions: print the starting state of the equipment
  2. Pre-condition checks: verify the equipment is ready for testing
  3. Control sequences: command the equipment and evaluate responses
  4. Release: end the test and release all overrides
See Workflow logic blocks for a complete reference of available block types.

Test with the debugger

Open the Debugger tab. The left sidebar displays parameters and inputs. The main screen shows the simulator output.

  1. Review the PARAMS section and adjust parameter values for testing.
  2. Select Start Simulation to begin.

  1. Update INPUT values to simulate different equipment conditions, then select Send.

  1. Verify the workflow produces the expected response for each scenario.
Delay times run in real time during simulation. Temporarily change time units to seconds on timer blocks to speed up testing. Return to the correct units before deploying.
Test boundary values thoroughly. Verify conditions that should pass and conditions that should fail. This catches threshold errors before deployment.

Save the workflow

Select Save. The workflow appears in the workflows list and becomes available for use in FTT projects.
