Flow form
Editing the Start shape properties
|
|
Every flow rule has a single Start shape (
) with
no incoming connectors. This marks the first shape of every
execution of the flow rule.
When you create a flow, the Start shape is already present. You rarely need to alter the Start Properties panel. You can enter or revise these fields:
Field |
Description |
| Start Properties | |
| Name |
Enter a text name for this shape. The default value is
|
| Application |
|
| Work Type |
|
| Use Case |
|
If this flow is a screen flow, special rules apply. See Flow Rules — Editing in Visio — Creating and Editing a Screen Flow.
(To edit these shape properties after you save the Flow form, open the Diagram tab, right-click the shape, and select the Edit tab on the pop-up window.)
Optional. Select
the name of the application that you want to link to the
flow shape. The value of this field is referenced with
the flow diagram in application documents.
