Decision Flow

This page introduces the DecisionRules Decision Flow feature, highlighting its key capabilities and applications.

Decision Flow Basics

Decision Flows represent a new feature category within DecisionRules, enhancing the platform's capabilities. They integrate seamlessly with existing rules, maintaining a familiar structure. Decision Flows are built by placing nodes on a canvas and connecting them with lines, with various node types available.

Creating Your First Decision Flow

Let us create the first Decision Flow. Click the Create button in the Rule list. Here you can choose to create a blank Decision Flow (if you do not seem to have access to it, please see the Flow Limits page).

The Decision Flow Designer

The Designer features a canvas with a single Start node. On the right side, you’ll find several tabs, with the Palette being the most important for now. The Palette lists all available node types with brief descriptions. To use a node, simply drag it from the palette onto the canvas.

Once a node is on the canvas, click it to open its detail settings. Each node type has different configuration options depending on its functionality. For detailed information on each node type, check the Workflow Nodes Overview.
