Visual programming, where the programs are graphs<\/div>

Flow Engine & Editor<\/h1><\/div>

With the flow editor, you can create programs without writing tons of lines of code. Simply select the appropriate flow elements and connect them together in a visual editor to create the desired logic and behavior, which is executed by the flow engine directly from the graph.<\/p><\/div>

<\/span>Flow Engine & Editor<\/p>

One Tool for Business Users and Developers<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]The overarching value of the Flows development environment in the Structr platform is that subject matter experts who have the business knowledge can work with the same tool as the developers who are responsible for implementing the business processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, the operation of the flow editor benefits greatly from developer skills and is therefore mainly used by developers. But SMEs can at least follow the development at any time and intervene to correct it if necessary.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_padding=”custom” row_padding_bottom=”vpb-10″][vc_column width=”7\/12″ col_sticky=””][vc_single_image image=”1637″ img_size=”large” image_shadow=”shadow-lg”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″ col_sticky=”” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1 vc_col-lg-4″]

    Unbeatable Advantages for SMEs<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]The strong similarity of Flows to flowchart diagrams in typical tools for business users, such as Visio, makes it easy for them to follow the technical implementation at all times.<\/p>\n

    As a result, business users are no longer second-class participants who rely on the transformation performance of the developers and their willingness to allow business influence directly during development, but can control it directly.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=”1637″ img_size=”large” image_shadow=”shadow-lg”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″ col_sticky=”” col_pp_sm=”vc_col-sm-pull-7″ col_pp_lg=”vc_col-lg-pull-8″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1 vc_col-lg-4″]

      <\/span>Flow Engine & Editor<\/p>

      No compromises for developers<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]As a developer, the concept of flow-based development may be unfamiliar at first. In the Structr platform, however, the degree of freedom is not restricted, as flows can be integrated into repeater queries and any scripts.<\/p>\n

      On the other hand, system-supplied or any custom scripts and programs can be integrated as part of a Flow. This makes Flows a serious alternative to traditional programming, especially if close collaboration with the specialist users is the priority.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=”1637″ img_size=”large” image_shadow=”shadow-lg”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″ col_sticky=”” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1 vc_col-lg-4″]
