Sierra Functions
The following table lists all Sierra functions. Not all Sierra functions appear at all sites. The functions available to your library depend upon the products you have acquired and your system configuration.
The table also lists the base application each function is associated with. In the Sierra Desktop Application, you can find available functions under the related application menu option (usually under the Go menu) or in the Function dropddown list.
Default Workflows represent the Innovative defaults. Since workflows are customizable in both name and content, the workflows you see in your system's Sierra Desktop Application might be different.
