New Item

The New Item Dialog allows users to specify a file name when creating a new flow. Each flow corresponds to a .flow file and represents a business process designed within the Flow Designer.

UI Elements​

  • FILE NAME
    Text input where the user defines the name of the new flow file. The .flow extension is added automatically.

  • Cancel
    Closes the modal without creating a new file.

  • OK
    Confirms the file name and adds the flow to the project.

Validation Rules​

  • The file name must not be empty.
  • Special characters are not allowed.
  • The file name must be unique within the Flows section.

Usage Flow​

  1. Right-click the Flows folder in the Solution Explorer.
  2. Select New Item.
  3. Enter the flow file name in the dialog.
  4. Click OK to create and open the new flow.

Use Cases​

  • Initiating a new approval workflow.
  • Starting a new automation process.
  • Separating workflows per department (e.g., LeaveRequest.flow, ExpenseApproval.flow).
