To design the workflow, drag and drop the process step from the toolbox into the design area. Join the dots to complete the connection link between the process steps. An alert notification indicates that further “step” configuration is necessary. 

Select the connection line to view the “Connection Properties” in the right pane. You may configure the link priority value (in ascending order) when multiple steps are connected to the Start step. By doing this, the connections are executed in the order of priority. You can change the link type by selecting from Z-Type, Line, Round, or Junction designs. You can change the line color, size, and type (solid, dots, and dashed). Note: The process designer prevents self-connections from occurring.  

In the following example, the process workflow is designed with multiple and different function steps. The connection links are organized with labels and other colors. 

The “alerts” on Step Properties (on the right pane) indicate that further configuration is necessary. 

Select a process step to view the “Step Properties” on the right pane. The configuration is arranged into three tabs: Required, Optional, and Logging. Select each tab and configure it as necessary. Click the Save button to save the changes. 

In this example, the “Required” tab is configured as shown below. Click the "AI Predict" button for the Copilot to add new process steps that match your workflow description. 

In this example, the “Optional” tab is configured as shown below.

In this example, the “Logging” tab is configured as shown below. The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and measures the workflow progress and percent completion. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. 

Save the configuration and navigate to the Action - Validate menu option. The application displays the last saved date and time and alerts you about incomplete step configurations. 

Connection default settings.

The default color and size of the connections between steps can be configured in the Status > Settings > Process menu option. 

You can configure the designer text size, connection line size, and color using the following UI. 

The changes will be reflected in the designer connection settings as shown below :

Create a connection “from and to”.

Connections can be created between a single step and multiple steps, or vice versa.  Use the mouse to select a group of steps by holding down the mouse button. 

Select the “Source Step” and right-click to view the Context Menu. Select the “Create Connections To” menu option. 

The connection is established between the source step and the target step, as illustrated below. 

Right-click the context menu for the steps.

Users can perform various operations like “Delete, Copy, Duplicate, AI Predict, Save As Template, Export As Template, Compare Snapshots, Swap Steps, Delete All Connections, Create Connections, Create Connections To, Create Connections From, Lock, Transfer Properties, and Help Document” by selecting a process step and right-clicking on the step, as shown below:

Create a connection from the Step to the UI.

In FlowWright, the UI allows you to create Connections between steps. Group the Steps by holding down the mouse button. 

Select the target step and right-click to choose the "Create Connections" menu option. 

The “Create Connection” feature is displayed in the right pane with a drop-down list of Step names and a search function. 

Select the target step and click the Create Connection button.  

The connection is created between the steps, as shown below. 

Warning symbols for invalid steps.

The “alerts” on Step Properties (on the right pane) indicate that further configuration is necessary. 

Link Priority connection step.

Use the link priority option to define the order of step execution, as shown below. The steps are executed in the increasing order of the priority value. Based on runtime data, the link priority is optimized for real-time execution. 

Select the connection and provide the link priority value, as shown in the example below.  

Select another connection and configure the link priority with a high value. You can use the “Get Next Value” button to generate the next priority value automatically.  

Generate and execute a new Process Instance using the UI. 

The Process Instance “Execution View” is shown below. As observed, the “Email” step is executed with 1st priority, and the “Update Variables” step with 2nd priority. 

Get the next link value for the connection.

The workflow designer connection has a Link value text box. Upon clicking, the maximum link value from all the outgoing connections of the source step +1 is calculated and set to the text box value. The link value is saved automatically when the page changes or exits.
