Run Flow From Tiles

Overview

Tiles provide the functionality of Designer Elements within a Page/Dashboard. This includes launching a Flow when a user clicks a Simple Tile on a Page.

The following document demonstrates how to launch a basic Flow from within a Page/Dashboard. 

Example

1. From the Page Designer, add a Simple Tile from Toolbox > TILES to the workspace. 
2. Select PICK OR CREATE FLOW from the Simple Tile Properties, then CREATE a new Tile Source Flow. 
3. From the resulting Flow Designer, configure the TILE SETUP Properties for the Create Tile Data step as desired by configuring a Line of text. 
   
4. Under ACTIONS > Tile Action Type, select RunFlow.
   Then, set Flow to Constant, and PICK the previously created Flow. 
   Passing in Flow Inputs

   If required, the Input Data may be passed in by enabling the Configure Flow Inputs Boolean and then defining the Inputs via SHOW EDITOR under FLOW INPUTS.

   

5. Save the Flow, then close via X.
6. From the Page Designer, Save the Page. Then, from the Top Action Bar, click Preview. 
7. From the Preview window, click the Tile; verify that the Flow runs as intended and that the Form appears and can be completed.
