Overview
An action(s), 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
- Select the action nodes requiring extraction and right-click to choose Extract to new Actionflow
- A new Actionflow is automatically created
- On the original Actionflow, the action nodes are replaced with an embedded Actionflow node - see Actionflow Node Properties
- A new Actionflow is automatically created
Important Considerations:
- All action nodes requiring extraction must be connected
- If a Start Loop Action or End Loop Action is extracted, its corresponding end/start loop must be extracted too
Start Phase actions cannot be included in the extraction
- Any passthrough attributes must be mapped into the original Actionflow
