Flow Design Palette Options

The Flow Design Palette lists connection types, screens, and starting points that can be used in a mobile workflow application.

Connections

From the Flow Design Palette, you can add only a GoTo connection directly to the canvas. All the other connections are listed only for reference, and must be defined in the properties view.

Connection Description
GoTo Specifies which screen the user goes to upon completing an action on the current screen, such as clicking OK or Next.
Operation Success Specifies which screen the user automatically goes to upon successful completion of an operation.
Operation Error Specifies the screen that the user goes to automatically when an error occurs while attempting to complete an operation.
Listview Details Specifies which screen to open when a row in a listview is clicked. Once on the details screen, you can add, update, or delete rows from the listview.
Listview Add Specifies a screen that can be directly navigated to in order to add a new row to the listview.
Conditional Operation Success This connection implies a code generation callout to the customConditionalNavigation function, which returns a boolean. When a user navigates through the application, each piece of custom logic is evaluated individually, in order. Upon finding the first true condition, the matching screen is shown on the user's device.
Async Request Error Indicates that, if an asynchronous operation fails, a new notification should be sent to the device with the appropriate error log keys, along with user-specified email field values (such as Subject and From).

Screen

Select the screen empty_screen_bpw and click the Flow Design page to create a new empty screen.

Starting points

Starting point Description
Activate The Activate starting point indicates a screen that is displayed to the user the only the first time they open the application. It is not displayed the second and subsequent times the application is opened. For example, you might want to use an Activate starting pint to show usage instructions for the application to the user the first time they open the application.
Credential request Provide the credentials for authentication. During execution, authentication credentials are evaluated in this order:
  1. User-defined user name and password keys
  2. Credential cache
  3. Specified generic credential pair
Server-initiated Use this starting point to define the matching rules for the workflow form and to specify how to extract values from notifications and map them to mobile business object read and search parameters.
Client-initiated The mobile business object referencing starting point.
