Constructors

Instance($id = null, $workflowId = null, $name = null, $teamName = null, $description = null, $category = null, $owner = null, $createdBy = null, $steps = null, $fields = null, $status = null, $startDate = null, $endDate = null, $fieldVisibility = null, $visibility = null, $visibleToUsers = null)

Creates a new instance of the Instance class. Note that this does not create a new, running Instance on the platform. For that, you must instead call instances()->startInstance.
