Design Web Flows

A Web flow is a user interaction diagram. Web flow diagrams allow the developer to have a high level overview of the Web interfaces and easily capture the possible end-user interaction sequence.

A Web flow shows a collection of elements, most of which can be categorized as follows:

Web Screens: HTML pages where the user can interact through links, buttons, and forms. How?
Entry Points: Starts the Web flow with the end-user. How?
Web Screen References: Elements that represent web screens that may or not be in the same flow. How?
Connectors: Arrows that link the elements in the Web flow. How?

There are also other elements that you can use in your Web flows. See the complete list in elements in a Web flow.

Each Web Screen can be connected to more than one Web Screen, Go To Screen, or External Site. Web Blocks can be connected to one or several screens; they usually are. Although they appear as initial elements, they do not initiate a screen flow. Conceptually, they do not belong to the execution flow but you can have connectors from them, since they can include links.

To open and edit a Web flow, you must double-click it in the eSpace tree. Web Flows must be edited in their owner eSpace, if they are Web Flow references, they cannot even be opened.
