Extracting Actions to an Actionflow
Extracting Actions to an Actionflow
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
- To make a reusable Actionflow, select the required action nodes and right-click to choose
- A new Actionflow is automatically created
- On the original Actionflow, the selected action nodes are replaced with the new embedded Actionflow node - see Actionflow Node
Extract to new Actionflow - A new Actionflow is automatically created
Important Considerations:
- All action nodes requiring extraction must be connected
- If a or Start Loop Action is extracted, its corresponding end/start loop must be extracted too End Loop Action
Start Phase actions cannot be included in the extraction
- Any passthrough attributes must be mapped into the original Actionflow
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
- Disconnect the action or group of actions from the Actionflow's inputs and/or outputs
- Right-click on the actions nodes to be moved and choose Move to another Actionflow
- On the Select Actionflow popup, use the dropdown to select the Actionflow to move the action nodes to and select OK
- 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
- The Actionflow that the action node(s) have been moved to will open
