Overview

Action nodes, within an Actionflow, can be re-used by converting them into a new Actionflow. The actions in the original Actionflow are transferred to an embedded Actionflow node.

The newly created Actionflow automatically contains:

• input, output and lookup connection points to connections outside of the new Actionflow, e.g. to action nodes and the original Actionflow
• all transferred action nodes 

• the original attributes, which are mapped to match the original Actionflow setup

Creating a Reusable Actionflow

1. To make a reusable Actionflow, select the required action nodes and right-click to choose 

   Insert excerpt
   _extract_actionflow _extract_actionflow nopanel true

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

Moving Actions to Another Actionflow

An action node or group of action nodes can be moved to another Actionflow. This useful where you wish to reverse an action node extraction.

The nodes must be disconnected from the Actionflow's inputs and/or outputs before moving.

How-to Move Actions

1. Disconnect the action or group of actions from the Actionflow's inputs and/or outputs
2. Right-click on the actions nodes to be moved and choose 

   Insert excerpt
   _move_actionflow _move_actionflow nopanel true

3. On the Select Actionflow popup, use the dropdown to select the Actionflow to move the action nodes to and select OK
4. On the Select Action Phase popup, use the dropdown to select the phase within the chosen Actionflow to move the action nodes to and select OK
5. The Actionflow that the action node(s) have been moved to will open
