# Workflows

A Workflow runs a container task on demand. Use it for bounded work that should have a recorded run history, a timeout, and retry limits instead of a permanently running process.

## Configure the task

Choose **Workflow**, provide the container image and command required for the task, then set the task timeout and retry limit. Keep the command deterministic and make it safe to retry where possible.

## Review runs

The workflow screen records each invocation and its outcome. Inspect a failed run before retrying so a configuration or input problem is not repeated automatically.
