You can use the weboperator Web view to run workflows on objects in your inventory from a Web browser rather than from the Orchestrator client.

If you only need a Web view to access the inventory and run workflows, the standard weboperator Web view should meet your requirements. If you require more complex functionality from a Web view, you can use the Web components and default Web view template that Orchestrator provides to develop custom Web views.
