Diaflux elements#
- Start node: entry point for a DiaFlux
- Exit node: exit point of a DiaFlux
- Action node: select a question or solution here and model an interaction with this node.
- Comment node: use this node to provide annotations to transitions or nodes.
- SnapShot node: used to inhibit the truth maintainance to reverse decisions before this snapshot. (Behaves like a diode.)
- Composed node: calls another flowchart and allows to interact with it.
Editor tools
#
- Save flowchart and close editor
- Revert changes
- Close editor (without saving)
- Delete flowchart
Best Practices
#
- A DiaFlux flowchart shall have a unique name.
- One flowchart needs to be checked for Autostart. (That is where a session workflow will start.)
- Do not overload a single flowchart. Model rather small parts and reference them in a parent flowchart.
Rule of thumb: Not more than a monitors field of view.
