To design the workflow, drag and drop the process step from the toolbox into the design area. Connect the steps by joining the dots. An alert notification indicates that additional “step” configuration is required. 

Select the connection line to view the “Connection Properties” in the right pane. You may configure the link priority (in ascending order) when multiple steps connect to the Start step. This ensures the connections execute in priority order. You can change the link type by selecting Z-Type, Line, Round, or Junction designs. You can also change the line color, size, and type (solid, dots, or dashed). Note: The process designer prevents self-connections. 

In the following example, the process workflow is designed with multiple distinct functional steps. The connection links are labeled and color-coded. 

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

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

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

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

In this example, the “Logging” tab is configured as shown below. The “Logging” settings are necessary for documentation and measure 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, then navigate to the Action > Validate menu option. The application displays the last saved date and time and alerts you to 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. 

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 the mouse button down. 

Select the “Source Step,” then right-click to open the Context Menu. Choose the “Create Connections To” option. 

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

Right-click the context menu for the steps.

Users can perform various operations, such as “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 it, as shown below:

Create a connection from the Step to the UI.

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

Select the target step, then right-click to choose the "Create Connections" option. 

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

Select the target step, then click the Create Connection button.  

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

Warning symbols for invalid steps.

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

Link Priority connection step.

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

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

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

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 includes a Link value text box. When clicked, the maximum link value from all outgoing connections of the source step, plus 1, is calculated and set as the text box value. The link value is saved automatically when the page changes or exits.
