# Dedicated Workflows

Operator-facing panels for shows that live or die on one repeated motion: cueing the next clip in a long media block, tracking which name graphic belongs to which speaker. Use a dedicated workflow when you want a single panel that captures the show’s central activity instead of driving every action through the Project List.

This chapter covers the operate-side surface for each shipped workflow — where the panel lives in the Captivate UI, how to open it, and what the operator does once it is open. For how a workflow is configured at build time, see the related controllers and Data Controllers chapters.

## About Dedicated Workflows

Dedicated Workflows are a category of panel that Captivate groups together in their own menu, separate from [Data Controllers](/play-and-update-graphics/chapter-index-3.md). A Data Controller answers "where does the data on this graphic come from?" A workflow answers "what is this panel making happen during my show?" Workflows persist their state per project, so when you close and reopen a workflow panel mid-show the pinned sequences, queues, and assignments come back.

Open a workflow by choosing **Add Source** on a channel and picking from the **Workflows** submenu.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://captivatehelp.newbluelive.com/control-your-show/chapter-index-2.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
