Step 1: Creating your flow

Although you could also start from a sample flow, for your first flow(s), we recommend starting from scratch (blank flow).

To create a blank flow

Do one of the following:
- In the toolbar at the top of the screen, click .
- From the menu, select Flow > New Flow... .
- In the Flows pane, right-click and select New Flow.
A new flow is created. By default it is called "New flow" (followed by a number if it's not your first "New flow").
Enter a meaningful new name for your flow. Your cursor will automatically focus on the flow name in the Flows pane, so you can immediately type a new name. If you click outside the name field, the name will be displayed in italics and it will have an asterisk next to it, to indicate that the flow hasn't been saved yet.

You can now add flow elements as required.
