Flow Elements

The flow contains the following elements that make up your workflow:

• Start/End Event
• Decision Point
• Actions Task
• Connector

Start/End Event

An event is something that occurs during the course of a process. These events have a cause or an impact on the implementation of a process and usually require or permit an action.

By default, CubeDrive includes Start Event and End Event elements.

The Start Event begins the workflow, and the End Event terminates the workflow.

Decision Point

Decision Point is an element used to control how the flow among different elements of the design interact.

This means they act like a mechanism that controls, defines and regulates flows based on the evaluation of criteria.

For example, in a vacation request workflow, if the manager approves the employee's request, the next task can send an email notification to the employee.

Actions Task

An action/task is a logical group of sequential steps, sharing a common goal.

Action/Task are intended to model processes that are technically executable. Currently, CubeDrive supports the following actions/tasks:

• Email Notification
• Update form information
• Reset permission
• Schedule a running job
• Call 3rd-party API
• Push field data to other form
• Call project fee API
• Call message API
• Flow stop temporary

Connector

Connector is essentially used to connect two elements together.

To create a path between two elements, hover over one element, press and drag the connection point to the other element.

Canvas

The canvas is the central panel of the Workflow Manager and is also known as the layout area.

It offers a dynamic and intuitive visual representation of the tasks and other workflow elements associated with your business process.

Workflow elements from the Toolbox can be dragged and dropped onto the Canvas.

Element Properties

Element Property panel contains the editable properties (name, appearance, detail configuration) for the selected workflow element.
