# Workflows

Workflows enable you to run tasks both sequentially and in parallel. You can either schedule workflows as described in [Scheduling tasks](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/compose/December2024/Content/ComposeDWDL/Main/DL/Tasks%20and%20Workflows/scheduling_tasks.htm) or run them manually using the **Run** toolbar button or Compose CLI.

You can create your own workflow and/or use the built-in workflow. The built-in workflow enables you to run all of your tasks as a single, end-to-end process. The built-in workflow appears in the **Type** column as "Default Workflow".

When you create your *own* workflow, you decide which tasks to include in the workflow and the order in which they will be run.
