What is dataflow?#

Dataflow, or data flow, in the platform is a key component that allows users to process and transform data within an application. This is a powerful tool for integrating data, processing events and automating business processes.

Dataflow is built on the platform using a ‘visual editor’ of the data flow:

The visual data flow editor is an intuitive designer for creating and managing data flows. This tool allows users to sequentially create a set of Stages and Steps to implement complex data processing scripts.

  • Add Stage: This is done by pressing the “+” icon on the data flow control panel. You can add an unlimited number of stages depending on the needs of your script.

  • Delete Stage: To delete a stage, use the “X” button on the selected stage block.

  • Edit Stage: You can only edit the name of the selected stage.

  • Add Step: A new step is added by pressing the “ADD STEP” button at the appropriate stage. Users can choose step types from the proposed activity groups.

  • Delete Step: To delete a step, click on the “X” icon on the selected step block.
