Activating flows

If you want a flow to start processing jobs, you must activate it. Note that you can activate several flows in one go.

To activate flows

In the Flows pane, select the (inactive) flow(s) you want to start.
Do one of the following:
- In the toolbar at the top of the screen, click .
- In the Flows pane, click and select Activate Flow(s).
- In the Flows pane, right-click and select Activate Flow(s).
- In the Flows pane, double-click the selected flow (only possible in case of a single flow).
- From the menu, select Flow > Activate Flow(s) .
If you haven't saved your flow yet and you haven't enabled automatic flow saving in the user interface preferences, a warning pops up. Note that clicking Save, will save all flows with unsaved changes. If you do not want to save all unsaved flows, click Cancel and manually save the flows as required. The background of the flow is darkened. In the Flows pane, you can see an icon next to the name of the flow. The flow is now active and waits for input jobs to appear.

Note: If the flow has been scheduled, an icon appears. The flow will become active at the time specified in the Flow properties (See Flow properties).
