How to create a workflow that needs to call on multiple workflows

[Brent Cox]

I have a workflow for catalog item Network Printer. Based on what they select, there are three different workflows that need to be called on, Replace Network Printer, Add Network Printer, Remove Network Printer. There is a switch set up. Currently one of them works. I am going to set up the second one for Replace Network Printer. I do: 

1. New Item>Workflow>Name it Replace Network Printer>Add new Workflow Instances>point it to the workflow I set up for Replace Network Printer. 
2. Repeat this process for Add Network Printer. 

However, now when I go to save it, it has errors validating. It says it contains two invalid subflows. I can't figure out what is causing this to not validate.

Hello @Brent Cox ,

Create three seperate workflows and required actions in it then publish it. Create one main workflow and just drag and drop other three workflows one by one from workflow list in right side in the location where you want each of them in the main workflow and after drag and drop save it one by one. After all activities added in the main workflow publish the main workflow. If only warning page displays while publishing then ignore it and continue to publish it.

Wow, thank you so much!! I was making that so much more difficult than it needed to be. Not sure why adding them this way was different than how I was doing it, but it worked. Thank you!!
