Overview

Image Modified

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.

  • On the right: if the actionflow has an output as a result of running, configure what to do with the outputs.
    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.

    Tip

    Remember that the actionflow shown in the centre of the actionflow diagram can be reused. An actionflow instance is the unique combination of:

    • inputs
    • actionflow
    • outputs.
    Use the properties to add a description for the actionflow, or to change which users can run it.

    Use an
