Adding Run Flow Controls to a Page

Overview

The Run Flow and Run Flow Drop Down controls allow End-Users to initiate Flows directly from a Page.

• Run Flow enables a Page to trigger a single, predefined Flow using a button-style control.
• Run Flow Drop Down enables a Page to expose multiple Flows within a drop-down action menu, allowing End-Users to select which Flow to run at runtime.

Both controls are designed for scenarios where a Page serves as an entry point for initiating backend processes through a guided user interface. Common use cases include patient portals, administrative dashboards, and internal tools where Users need to execute actions without navigating away from the Page.

Example

1. In a Project, select the CREATE PAGE button on the top Action Bar. Select PAGE, provide a name, then select CREATE.
2. In the Page Designer, use the Toolbox search bar to find the Run Flow component and add it to the workspace. 
3. With this component selected, navigate to the Properties panel.
4. Select the PICK FLOW button to either pick an existing Flow or create a new one. This is the Flow that will initiate when the button is selected. For this example, a simple Flow with the Show Popup step was used to display a message when the button is selected. 
5. Use the Toolbox search bar to find the Run Flow Drop Down component and add it to the workspace. 
6. With this component selected, navigate to the Properties panel.
7. Select the plus icon next to Flows to either pick an existing Flow or create a new one. This will create an action menu of Flows the end user can run.
   
   
8. To see the full functionality of this feature, the Page where the component was added will need to be applied to a Public Folder. For information on how to add a Page/Dashboard to a folder, please visit the Create Page/Dashboard article.
9. Open the added Page tab in the folder and select the button actions to see that the Flow(s) is initiated on the backend.
