Microflow Element Common Properties

Last modified: August 2, 2022

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.
