Flows folder

This folder contains all the flows that you create during your development process.

If you right-click on the Flows folder label and select the New option, only the Flow element is available for selection.

The same occurs if having the Flows folder selected, you go to the Menu Bar and select the File > New option or you drop-down the list of options in the icon in the Tool Bar. The Flow… option launches the Transaction editor in the Flow page ( Flow editor).

The flows are labeled using the flow Id and are ordered in alphabetical order.

When a flow is selected, the possible actions shown in the context menu (right-clicking on the operation) are shown and described below:

When you copy a flow, you will only be allowed to paste it on another Flows folder, either using the context menu Paste option or using the associated short-key.

The Paste option is only available when one or several flows in this project or any other project in the workspace have been copied to the perspective clipboard. All copied flows are pasted to the same destination folder.

When you delete a flow, you are prompted for confirmation. If you press OK the flow will be deleted from your development environment.

If you want to verify the actual files that are going to be deleted from the system, you can click on the Preview button:

Note: although you are allowed to uncheck some of the actions that are listed in the Preview view, this is not recommended as may generate inconsistencies in your development environment.

When selecting the Move… option, the Move Resources wizard opens to choose the destination folder. A flow can only be moved to another Flows folder and the origin folder cannot be selected. When selecting several flows, all of them will be moved to the same destination folder.

If you want to verify the actual files that are going to be moved as a result of your action or if there is any problem (for instance, a resource with the same name already exists in the destination folder), you can click on the Preview button:

The Rename… option is only used with a single selection. If several flows are selected, the Rename… will apply to the first flow in the list. When selecting the Rename… option, the Rename Resource wizard opens to choose the new name. The name you enter has to be with no extension.

If you want to verify the actual files that are going to be renamed as a result of your action or if there is any problem (for instance, a resource with the same name already exists in the destination folder), you can click on the Preview button.

Note: although you are allowed to uncheck some of the actions that are listed in the Preview view, this is not recommended as may generate inconsistencies in your development environment.

These options are also available when selecting the File option in the Menu Bar:
