Switching Between Flows in an App

In an app that has multiple flows, you can switch between the flows within an app. There are two ways of doing it:

  1. Using the Flows list dropdown:

  2. Click the Flows list dropdown beside the flow name and select the flow you want to open.

  3. Using the flow tabs: 
  4. When you choose a flow from the Flows list dropdown, each flow appends to the right of the previously opened flow tab and this flow tab is set to active. The remaining tabs are inactive. You can simply click these flow tabs to switch between the flows.

    You can also move a tab to the left or right of any existing tab.

    Note: Only opened and appended tabs can be moved to the tabs section. The moving of tabs is applicable for the current instance only. For example, if you navigate back to the Flow List page and return to canvas, the state of the moved tabs is lost. Similarly, if you refresh the page, the state of the moved tabs is lost.


    Note:
    • If you try to open a flow tab that is already appended, then that flow tab is set to active wherever it is present.

    • Whenever you refresh the app, the order of the flow tabs remains same.

    Caching of Flow tabs

    When there are many flow tabs open, the first one is the main tab and the rest are appended tabs. In case you have to go back to the other flows and come back to the main flow tab again, the other appended flows remain there until closed. At a time, only one of the tabs remain active. For example, the Flow 1 is the main flow tab and the rest are appended flow tabs.

Note:
  • A maximum of 10 flow tabs can be opened. You must close flows that are not required before opening a new flow.

  • You cannot switch between flow tabs while configuring the App properties or Schema.

  • During testing, the flow tabs are not accessible to user.
