Overview

An action(s)Action nodes, within an Actionflow, can be re-used by extracting them to a new Actionflow. The actions in the original Actionflow are then converted to an embedded Actionflow node.

The newly created Actionflow automatically contains:

  • the input and output connection points
  • all transferred action nodes 
  • the original attributes, which are mapped to match the original Actionflow setup
  • input, output and lookup connectors for each connection in the new Actionflow which is connecting to an action node outside of the new Actionflow

Extracting to a New Actionflow

  1. Select the action nodes requiring extraction and right-click to choose

    1. A new Actionflow is automatically created
    2. On the original Actionflow, the action nodes are replaced with an embedded Actionflow node - see Actionflow Node Properties


Note

Important Considerations:

  • All action nodes requiring extraction must be connected
  • If a

     or
    Insert excerpt
    _action_loop_end
    _action_loop_end
    nopaneltrue
     is extracted, its corresponding end/start loop must be extracted too
  • Insert excerpt
    _action_phase
    _action_phase
    namestart
    nopaneltrue
     actions cannot be included in the extraction

  • Any passthrough attributes must be mapped into the original Actionflow
