Overview
In general, there is no need to edit the actionflow properties as the configuration is done in the actionflow diagram. The diagram comprises three areas:
On the left: configure the component or event that will trigger the actionflow.PhixFlow lists the inputs in the Properties tab → Input Connection Points section.
In the centre: add the actionflow nodes to create the functionality you require.
An actionflow node can be another actionflow. his is useful to reuse existing actionflows, or to refactor a complex workflow.
PhixFlow lists any actionflows that are nodes in the Properties tab → Child Actionflows section.
PhixFlow lists the inputs in the Properties tab → Output Connection Points section.
For details on how to configure actionflows; see Understanding Actionflows and Creating Actionflows.
