Nanoflow properties consist of the following sections:

• Common
• Output
• Security
• Usage

Common Section

Name

Name is the internal name of the nanoflow. When referring to the nanoflow in the app you will use this name. It must be unique within the module, but you can have two nanoflows with the same name in different modules. When referring to the nanoflow, you will normally prepend the name of the module to ensure uniqueness and allow you to use nanoflows in other modules.

Documentation

Documentation allows you to describe your nanoflow to make it easier for people to use and modify it.

Output Section

Return Type

The return type defines what information the nanoflow returns. The caller of the nanoflow will get a result of this type. For possible return types, see Data Types.

Security Section

Allowed Roles

These are the module roles the user must have to be able to execute the nanoflow.

For more information, see Module Security.

Usage Section

Mark as Used

You can search for unused items (Ctrl + Shift + F, then select Unused items in the Search for drop-down menu) in Studio Pro. Nanoflows that are only called from JavaScript code will be listed as unused, because Studio Pro cannot look inside the source code.

By setting the property Mark as used to Yes, you explicitly specify that the nanoflow is used and Studio Pro will no longer list it when searching for unused items.

Default: No
