Placing a Component in a Flow (Magic xpi 4.5)
The Studio’s flow area has two places where you can add components. You can add components in the main pane itself, or you can add them in the Triggers section at the top of the main pane.
To insert a component:
-
In the Solution Explorer, select a flow.
-
From the Toolbox pane, select a component and drag it onto an existing component in the main pane. If the component is the first step (a step can be a component or a service that you drag from the Toolbox) in the flow, drag it directly into the main pane. If you want the component to be a trigger component, drag it to the Trigger area at the top of the main pane.
You can manage component placement in these ways:
-
If you drop a new component on an existing component, the new component is inserted as a child.
-
You can press SHIFT and drop a new component on top of an existing component. Then select one of the following from the drop-down menu:
-
-
Replace
-
Make as Parent
-
Make as Child
-
You can copy, paste and move steps and branches between flows. For more information, click here.
-
You cannot move a branch to an asynchronous branch.
-
To make changes to components' properties and configurations after placing them in a flow, park on the component and then making the required changes in the Properties pane.
