Basics

info

Flow Editor: The logic side of ProViz allows you to add Event -> Services to your Elements. A action(s) has been met, which causes an event(s) to occur.

At first glance the Flow Editor may seem intimidating to users who don't have experience coding. Coding languages utilize logic to organize and efficietly run programs. Don't worry, you won't be writing any code, but it is important to understand the concept of logic based coding.

Each Element can be dropped into the Flow Editor, but not all will have both events and services.
We call these "Logic Blocks" Element Nodes.

Remember that our If -> Then is Event -> Services.
By creating these statements ProViz will know what to do when an action occurs.

Connections

info

A Connection is the moving line which connects two Element Nodes together.
You can drag a Connection from a Event and drop it on top of a Service.

To delete connections look under your Elements Properties Tab. ⬇️
