This page is for application designers who need to configure functionality for components or events.

Overview

Image Added

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.

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