See Open Screen Node

Add an action to open a specified screen.

If the specified screen contains a Start Phase button WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? CONFIRM?, the action node can then be connected to a Start Phase action node. The buttons can be mapped to each output of the action node to trigger different pathways depending on what the user clicks. For example, this method is used if the process requires confirmation by the user. A confirmation screen can appear with a message 'Are you sure?' with two options

  • Yes - the Actionflow continues to the yes output.
  • No - the Actionflow stops
