Understanding common microflow elements
In previous chapters, you made some small microflows for your application while working with entities and pages. You used activities in those microflows to perform certain functions such as changing attributes on an object or showing a page. Microflow activities give Mendix developers a wide variety of preset functions to use in Mendix applications.
