How to create a flow

    Dashboard main page and Flows tab

  2. Then choose NEW FLOW

    New flow button

  3. Name your FLOW and click OK to save


    Naming your flow

    Best practice
    Name the flow according to its intended location:

    1. Start the name with wider location details, and continue to a smaller entity,
      eg. a system that is going to be spread in multiple countries /cities start with a country code /abbreviation of the city (see example below)
      By adding the word "flow" to the name you are able to better identify flows from apps

  4. ADD CONTENT to your flow

    Add content to your flow, Add an app button and Add a flow button

    1. Choose the correct App from the drop-down tool


      Pro tip: Start typing the name of the app to narrow down the selection

      Pro tip 2: You can also add a Flow, if that works better in your use case.

    2. Set the contents WEIGHT to match your preferences.

      With Weight you can modify contents visibility by its importance, giving more screen time to the more important content and showing other content less frequently.

      Set the content weight to control how often it appears in the Flow.

      Repeat as many times as needed.

    3. Fine tune the settings of each content app for perfect setup.
