Microflow Element Common Properties
1 Introduction
Here we discuss properties that are shared by many elements in the microflow editor.
2 Common Properties
2.1 Caption
The caption describes to the human user what happens in this element. Captions of action activities can be auto-generated by the Modeler. See below.
2.2 Auto-Generate Caption
The auto-generate caption property specifies whether the caption is automatically generated based on the type of activity.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Yes | The caption of the activity is generated by the Modeler. |
No | You can edit the caption yourself in the Caption property. |
Default value: Yes
2.3 Background Color
Here you can choose a background color for the activity. Colors do not influence execution; they are only used for documentation. For example, you can make error handling code red so you can easily identify it.
