Add and connect modules

This topic explains how to add and connect modules in Flow Studio.

Add modules

• Drag-and-drop modules from the Module library to where you want them positioned on the canvas.

• Once added, hover over the module to Configure a module instance and properties for the module instance.

Modules appear with small circles to the left (inputs) and small circles to the right (outputs).

These inputs and outputs represents the left-to-right flow of data and processes that begin with the input module on the left and end with the final module on the right, where messages leave the flow.

Connect two modules

Use this technique to connect two modules:

1. Press and hold the output circle of the first module.

   If the module to the right is a match, it is highlighted in green as shown in the following image.

   

2. Drag the arrow to the module you want to connect to, then release.

   A line is added to to represent the connection.

To remove a connection:

• Select to select the line and then select Delete.

Note: A good approach is to add and connect just a few modules and then verify the core flow, before adding more modules. Reducing basic errors reduces the risk of ending up with too many errors that may be hard to locate and debug later on.
