An overview of the Visual Workflow lifecycle
The Cloud Flow Designer is a tool to create Flows, configure screens, and define business logic for your Flows without writing a single line of code. Visual Workflow has three different parts, these are as follows:
- Design: This allows you to create the Flows using the Flow Designer, which has a drag and drop user interface that allows you to draw the Flow structure and configure how it runs, without writing a single line of code.
- Administration: Once you have created a Flow, you can manage it, edit its properties, activate, deactivate, delete, save as a new version or new Flow, or run it as well.
- Runtime: A Flow user can run the active Flow from a custom button, link, Visualforce page or directly from the Flow URL. If it is autolaunch Flow, then systems can run active Flows through Process Builder or an Apex class.
