Flow properties

The following properties are displayed in the Properties pane, when you select a particular flow.

Property	Description
Name	The name of the flow as it is shown in the Flows pane.
Description	A description of, or comments about the flow; the text in this field may have multiple lines. The creation date and time are filled in automatically (but can be removed as required).
Background image	A PNG or JPG image to be shown in the background of the flow design. The background image is placed at its effective resolution. If the image is too small to fill the canvas, it is repeated (as tiles). When the flow is not editable (because it is locked or active), the background image is darkened. The background image is a kind of wallpaper on which the flow design is drawn. Light colors or sober patterns work best.
Header image	A PNG or JPG image to be shown in the upper-left corner of the flow design, on top of the background image. The header image is placed at its effective resolution. The header image is not repeated to fill the canvas. When the flow is not editable, the header image is not darkened. The header image is intended to mark a flow with a company or brand logo. Small images work best (avoiding overlap with the actual flow design).
Allow advanced performance tuning	Performance settings are configured in the Switch Preferences (Switch preferences: Processing). They apply to all flows and all flow elements. However, to improve the performance of a particular flow, you can overrule two default settings by enabling the Allowing advanced performance tuning option in the properties of that flow. As a result, all flow elements (used in that particular flow) that can process jobs concurrently, will have two additional properties that can be changed: Number of slots : Number of slots available for concurrent processes. Idle after job (secs) : Idle time-out after each job.
Time-of-day window	If set to Yes, the flow will be active during a particular time of the day, as specified in the following properties (only available if Time-of-day window is enabled): Allow from (hh:mm): Start time, for example: 09:00 Allow to (hh:mm): End time, for example: 11:00
Day-of-week window	If set to Yes, the flow will be active during a couple of days of the week, as specified in the following properties (only available if Day-of-week window is enabled): Allow from: Day of the week the flow will be activated, for example: Tuesday Allow to: Day of the week the flow will deactivated, for example: Friday
Day-of-month window	If set to Yes, the flow will be active during a particular day of the month, as specified in the following properties (only available if Day-of-month window is enabled): Day: Day of the month during which to keep the flow active. Use a number between 1 and 31. For example, "1" (default) means the first or the last day of the month (depending on the value in Relative to). Relative to: Choose between: Start/end of the month.

Note: If you have enabled the Time-of-day, Day-of-week or Day-of-month window, when activating the flow manually, it will be preceded by a small icon

. This indicates that the flow is scheduled and will be active during the time specified in the Flow properties.
